Plant functional defects experienced upon growth under Per-/Poly- fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) conditions

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) pose significant environmental risks, yet their impact on food crops like legumes remain insufficiently understood. This study investigated the developmental and physiological responses of hydroponically grown mung bean (Vigna radiata) to varying concentrations of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS). High concentrations…
