Phytotoxicity and bioaccumulation of ZnO nanoparticles in Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani

• S. tabernaemontani showed significant inhibition for ZnO treatment at level of 1000mgL−1. • The levels of Zn in the roots under ZnO NP treatment were 402–36513μgg−1. • S. tabernaemontani showed clear potential to accumulate ZnO NPs in the roots. • Translocation of ZnO NPs from root to shoot was li...

• S. tabernaemontani showed significant inhibition for ZnO treatment at level of 1000mgL−1. • The levels of Zn in the roots under ZnO NP treatment were 402–36513μgg−1. • S. tabernaemontani showed clear potential to accumulate ZnO NPs in the roots. • Translocation of ZnO NPs from root to shoot was limited. • ZnO NPs could penetrate the cell wall and be taken up by plant cell of S. tabernaemontani.
