“…Therefore, increased lignin in PE-MP-treated lettuce may represent a plant defense mechanism for coping with stress. In addition, many studies have reported that increased lignin can increase the firmness (hardness) of plants, ,, supporting our results.…”

There is growing concern of microplastics (MPs) contamination in farmlands and freshwater systems. This research investigated the impact of polyethylene (PE)-MPs (22–48 μm) on Romaine lettuce under a 30-day exposure at 50, 250, and 1000 (mg/kg or mg/L) in soil or hydroponic conditions. Growth parameters (plant height, root length, and fresh weight of shoots and roots) of hydroponic lettuce were lower with two lower doses of PE-MP treatments, but not affected by the highest dose. The growth parameters of soil-grown lettuce decreased by all PE-MP treatments. Moisture content was decreased by PE-MPs in hydroponic lettuce but increased in soil-grown lettuce. Ash followed an opposite trend to moisture. Ascorbic acid was lower in both groups of lettuce. Chlorophylls, total phenolics, and antioxidant capacity were increased in hydroponic lettuce but decreased in soil-grown lettuce. Lettuce firmness increased in both groups, which positively correlated to the increased lignin in plant cell walls. All PE-MP-treated lettuce experienced greater weight loss and accelerated color change during the 30-day storage at 4 °C, suggesting a shortened shelf life. Findings indicate that plant growth and quality were affected by the MP dose, growth systems, and their interactions, which should raise awareness of the risks of MPs in different agroecosystems.

“…Buzacott [18] found a positive correlation between rind hardness and fibre content, and Davidson [4] reported that rind hardness measurements would be useful for screening large numbers of varieties for fibre content. It has been demonstrated in pumpkin and squash that higher degrees of lignification were correlated with seed coat hardness [19][20][21].…”

Rind hardness in sugarcane plays a major role in lodging resistance, and internode borer resistance,screening of sugarcane for rind hardness is essential for reducing yield loss. In order to identify the suitability of soil penetrometer for rapid rind hardness measurement, the rind hardness testing was carried out in two sugarcane clones of different rind hardness variability viz., Co 13003 (hard rind type) and Co 14002 (soft rind type). The investigation was carried out by three methods viz., pendulum type impact test rig, texture analyzer,and soil penetrometer and theresults revealed that thehard rind type Co 13003 sugarcane clone was observed with significantly greater hardness. Significant correlation between the three methods for the rind hardness trait and among the three methods the soil penetrometer method of determination of rind hardness is easy and rapid. Two-way hierarchical cluster analysis of studied biochemical traits has revealed a better classification of hard-rinded and soft-rind sugarcane clones. The Co 13003 was recorded as least susceptible to borers with high rind hardness (>200 psi), along with better fibre. The NG 77 a hard rind type clone was also observed with high lignin compared to soft rind Gungera.
