(A) Second RDA for those lipid classes which clustered with MWCNT–COOH treatments during first RDA in green alder (A). ANOVA of the lipid species found in green alder which were clustered in Q4 with the MWCNT–-COOH treatment (B). Values in bar chart represent means ± standard errors and all are significantly different at α = 0.05, n = 100 plants per treatment. MWCNT–COOH = multiwall carbon nanotubes functionalized with carboxylic acid, up con np = up conversion nanophosphors. SVI = seedling vigor index, EC = electrical conductivity, GR = germination rate, NS = normal seedlings, ANS = abnormal seedlings.
