The Impact of CdS Nanoparticles on Ploidy and DNA Damage of Rucola (Eruca sativa Mill.) Plants

Table 3

Effect of CdS NPs on the mitotic index (MI) of Eruca sativa Mill.

Sample	Number of tested samples	Total examined cells per sample	MI
Control	100	10 000	2.00 ± 0.1
Plants after treatment with CdS NPs (size < 5 nm)	100	10 000	1.14 ± 0.09; -HS
Plants after treatment with CdS NPs (size from 10 nm till 15 nm)	100	10 000	1.86 ± 0.07; -S

S = significant at the 0.05 level, HS = highly significant at the 0.01 level.
