Figure 2.

Mineral concentration in the rice leaf blade. Data are shown as box plots obtained by independent biological replicates (control conditions n = 8, Mn-toxic conditions n = 7), black squares indicate the mean value, and bars indicate the range of the maximum or minimum data within a 1.5 × interquartile range (IQR). Green boxes indicate the results of the control conditions, and red boxes indicate those of the Mn-toxic conditions. Asterisks indicate significant differences between the control and Mn-toxic conditions (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, Kruskal–Wallis test).
