生物基和传统微塑料对冬小麦种子萌发及幼苗生长的影响

    Effects of Bio-based and Conventional Microplastics (MPs) on Seed Germination and Seedling Growth of Winter Wheat

    • 摘要: 农田土壤微塑料(MPs)污染是威胁我国粮食生产安全的潜在环境问题。生物基塑料作为传统塑料的替代品被认为是解决这一问题的有效措施, 为探讨生物基微塑料(BMPs)和传统微塑料(CMPs)对作物种子萌发及幼苗生长的影响, 本研究以低密度聚乙烯(LDPE)、淀粉基聚乳酸(PLA)和纤维素基聚氨酯(BPU)3种不同类型MPs为供试材料, 研究不同添加量(1%、2%)条件下MPs对冬小麦种子萌发、幼苗和根系生长的影响。结果表明: 与CK (不添加MPs)处理相比, 各添加MPs处理冬小麦发芽率降低4.2%~49.3%, 发芽势降低11.6%~65.2%。相同浓度的不同类型MPs对种子萌发的抑制程度高低表现为PLA>BPU>LDPE, 且高浓度MPs对种子萌发的毒害效果更强。1% LDPE处理提高了冬小麦地下部长度和地上部高度, 但BMPs (PLA和BPU)处理地下部长度显著降低40.6%~68.7%, 地上部高度显著降低22.9%~72.0%。MPs处理降低了冬小麦幼苗叶绿素a和叶绿素b含量, 并且PLA和BPU处理降低程度更高。2%添加量的PLA和BPU处理降低了冬小麦根系总数、根尖数量、总根长和总根表面积, 但2%添加量的LDPE处理对冬小麦幼苗根系的生长并未表现出显著的毒害作用。因此, BMPs对冬小麦种子萌发和幼苗生长的抑制作用高于CMPs, 且短期内高添加量BMPs对冬小麦种子萌发和幼苗生长的毒害作用更强。

       

      Abstract: Microplastics (MPs) pollution in agricultural ecosystems poses a potential environmental threat to food security. Biobased plastics are considered as an effective alternative to conventional plastics. To investigate the difference of biobased microplastics (BMPs) and conventional microplastics (CMPs) on crop growth, this study evaluated the impacts of low-density polyethylene (LDPE), starch-derived polylactic acid (PLA), and cellulose-derived polyurethane (BPU) at concentration of 1% and 2% on seed germination and seedling growth of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum). The results indicate that MPs decreased the wheat germination rate by 4.2%-49.3% and germination potential by 11.6%-65.2% compared to the control treatment (without MPs addition), with inhibitory efficacy following PLA > BPU > LDPE. Higher concentrations of MPs exhibited stronger toxic effects on seed germination. Compared with the CK treatment, 1% LDPE promoted wheat growth, whereas BMPs (PLA and BPU) reduced root length by 40.6%-68.7% and shoot height by 22.9%-72.0%. MPs reduced chlorophyll a and b contents of wheat seedlings, with BMPs showing greater restrict efficiency than CMPs. 2% BMPs treatments reduced the total root length, root tip density and root surface area, while 2% LDPE did not exhibit significant root inhibition. In conclusion, short-term exposure to BMPs may impose greater phytotoxicity than CMPs on wheat seed germination and seedling growth, with higher concentrations exerting stronger inhibitory effects.
