Abstract:
      The application of metal nanomaterials(MNMs)is growing worldwide, raising concern as to whether they may present a potential risk to the environment. In combination with traditional environmental toxicology, omics technologies(e.g., transcriptomics, metabolomics, and proteomics)have been used to sharpen understanding of toxic mechanisms of MNMs. In this review, we summarize the research related to the toxic effect of MNMs on plants at phenotypic, subcellular, physiological, and biochemical levels. We review recent advances in multiomics technologies that provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms of MNMs phytotoxicity. To better understand the ecological effects of MNMs, we analyze the current research status and highlight the future challenges, perspectives, and strategies for multi-omics approaches.
