Figure 3From: CdSe/ZnS Quantum Dots trigger DNA repair and antioxidant enzyme systems in Medicago sativacells in suspension cultureDNA damage in Medicago sativa cells in suspension cultures. DNA damage in cell suspension cultures treated with 0, 10, 50 and 100 nM MPA-CdSe/ZnS QD at room temperature for 48 hours or at 50°C for 20 minutes, under alkaline unwinding and neutral electrophoresis (A/N), under neutral incubation and neutral electrophoresis (N/N), and also by incubation with lesion-specific FPG or EndoIII enzymes. Results are expressed as mean values with the standard deviation. One –way ANOVA P < 0.0001. Values with different letters are significantly different at p ≤ 0.01 with Tukey test.Back to article page
