PEI is the main cause of toxicity in PEI-SWNTs. A RNA-seq data for three selected genes from Clusters 1 and 2. Each dot represents a biological replicate (n = 5). B Arabidopsis leaves 48 h post infiltration with COOH-SWNTs and various concentrations of PEI-SWNTs. C mRNA levels of the selected genes measured by RT-qPCR in leaves of plants infiltrated as in B. The lower and upper hinges of the boxplot correspond to the first and third quartiles, the upper and lower whiskers correspond to the largest value no further than 1.5 times the inter-quartile range. Statistical significance was determined by one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey HSD test. Letters denote significant differences among means (n = 3)
