Role of Plant Growth Regulators and Biological, Chemical, Nutrient, and Nanomaterial-Based Approaches in Mitigating Micro- and Nanoplastic Stress in Agroecosystems.
Evidence shows that stress mitigators can reduce MNPs-induced stress by improving rhizosphere microbial communities, increasing plant growth and photosynthetic efficiency, and regulating biochemical, transcriptomic, and metabolomic responses.

Microbial biostimulants for plant stress tolerance and climate-resilient agriculture from mechanisms to recent advances and future perspectives
Microbial biostimulants (MBs) are gaining recognition as an essential component of sustainable agriculture due to their ability to enhance crop productivity, improve resilience to abiotic and biotic stresses, and reduce dependence on synthetic agricultural inputs. As global agricultural systems face increasing challeng...
