Lipid peroxidation as response to TCDD-exposure. a. Content of major C18-fatty acids (%) in Arabidopsis shoot on day 36 after exposure to TCDD at indicated doses. b. Total hydroperoxides produced by untreated and TCDD-treated Arabidopsis tissues was monitored using FOX-1 assay at various stage of development. Three independent plants were examined at each concentration of TCDD. Three measurements were taken per extract. Data are mean values ± SD (n = 6). FW: fresh weight. Statistical significance of the data was evaluated by ANOVA analysis. Asterisks indicate significant differences in lipid peroxides according to the plant age compared to germination stage (6 days): *P < 0.05 (significant); **P < 0.01 (very significant)
