RNA-seq of leaves of two durum wheat lines in response to polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs) exposure
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The increasing presence of nanoplastics in agricultural soils, particularly polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs), poses a novel and underestimated threat to crop productivity and food security. The impact of plastics has recently been investigated in cereals confirming that PSNPs can be absorbed by plants through the roots and subsequently translocated to other plant organs. While extensive research has focused on bread wheat, the effects of PSNPs on durum wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum) remain largely unexplored. In this study, we examined the transcriptomic response to PSNPs exposure in two durum wheat lines: Kronos (wild type) and MRP3, a low-phytate mutant generated via TILLING. The MRP3 line carries deleterious mutation in the Multidrug Resistance-Associated Protein 3 (MRP3) genes, which encodes a vacuolar transporter of phytic acid.
