Although microplastic pollution has been recognized as one of the major environmental challenges of the 21st century, its toxicological impact on crops, especially vegetables, has attracted limited scientific attention until recently. Vegetables represent a key component of the human diet, making any potential contamination of great importance for food safety. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have been conducted to investigate the interactions between microplastics and vegetable crops. This review aims to synthesize the current knowledge on the sources of microplastics in agroecosystems, the mechanisms of uptake and translocation in plants, and the physiological and biochemical responses induced by micro- and nanoplastics. This work aims to improve the scientific basis for assessing the risk of microplastic contamination by identifying gaps in current understanding and suggesting future research directions.
尽管微塑料污染已被公认为21世纪的主要环境挑战之一，但直到最近，其对农作物尤其是蔬菜的毒理学影响才引起有限的科学关注。蔬菜是人类饮食的关键组成部分，因此任何潜在污染对食品安全都至关重要。近年来，越来越多的研究致力于探究微塑料与蔬菜作物之间的相互作用。本综述旨在综合当前关于农业生态系统中微塑料来源、在植物体内的吸收和转运机制以及微塑料和纳米塑料诱导的生理生化反应的知识。这项工作旨在通过识别当前认识中的差距并提出未来研究方向，来完善评估微塑料污染风险的科学依据。
