Effect of TCDD on seed yield of Arabidopsis. a. The final number of siliques per plant was determined after the completion of flower production. Yield is reported as the desiccated mass (mg) of seed produced per plant. b. Seed oil content is expressed as percentage of seed dry weight. c. Vitality of seeds produced from TCDD-treated plants compared with seeds of non-treated plants. Ten seeds were sown on MS-plate and left for germination as described before. Three measurements were taken for three individual plants. Data are mean values ± SD (n = 6). DW: dry weight. Three independent biological experiments were analyzed. Statistical significance of the data was evaluated by ANOVA analysis. Asterisks indicate significant differences between treatment and control: *P < 0.05 (significant); **P < 0.01 (very significant)
