Seedlings of A. thaliana exposed to NSMs. (a) Ag@TiO₂ and (b) TiO₂-Cu²⁺ in MS broth medium for a week; (c) Ag@TiO₂ and (d) TiO₂-Cu²⁺ in H₂O for a week; (e) Ag@TiO₂ and (f) TiO₂-Cu²⁺ in H₂O, radiated for 24 h; (g) Ag@TiO₂ and (h) TiO₂-Cu²⁺ in H₂O, nonradiated for 24 h. Numbers indicate NSMs concentrations (0, 0.5 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/mL).
