Zeolite imidazole frameworks(ZIFs),a class of the metal organic framework,have been ex-tensively studied in environmental applications.However,their environmental fate and po-tential ecological impact on plants remain unknown.Here,we investigated the phytotoxic-ity,transformation,and bioaccumulation processes of two typical ZIFs(ZIF-8 and ZIF-67)in rice(Oryza sativa L.)under hydroponic conditions.ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 in the concentra-tion of 50 mg/L decreased root and shoot dry weight maximally by 55.2% and 27.5% ,53.5% and 37.5% ,respectively.The scanning electron microscopy(SEM)imaging combined with X-ray diffraction(XRD)patterns revealed that ZIFs on the root surface gradually collapsed and transformed into nanosheets with increasing cultivation time.The fluorescein isothio-cyanate(FITC)labeled ZIFs were applied to trace the uptake and translocation of ZIFs in rice.The results demonstrated that the transformed ZIFs were mainly distributed in the inter-cellular spaces of rice root,while they cannot be transported to culms and leaves.Even so,the Co and Zn contents of rice roots and shoots in the ZIFs treated groups were increased by 1145% and 1259% ,145% and 259% ,respectively,compared with the control groups.These findings suggested that the phytotoxicity of ZIFs are primarily attributed to the transformed ZIFs and to a less extent,the metal ions and their ligands,and they were internalized by rice root and increased the Co and Zn contents of shoots.This study reported the transformation of ZIFs and their biological effectiveness in rice,highlighting the potential environmental hazards and risks of ZIFs to crop plants.
