Figure Lengend Snippet: The effects of ZnO NPs (at concentrations of 0, 100, 250, and 1000 mg/L) on the length and fresh weight (FW) of roots and shoots (epicotyl of pea and coleoptile of wheat) of 4-day-old seedlings of pea ( Pisum sativum L.) cv. Nemo ( A , E ) and cv. Tarchalska ( B , F ) and 3-day-old seedlings of wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) cv. Collada ( C , G ) and cv. Ostka Strzelecka ( D , H ). Values are means of 3 replicates + SD . The same lowercase letters (for shoots and roots, separately) and uppercase letters (for total seedlings length) above the bars indicate no significant ( p < 0.05) differences according to the ANOVA test and post hoc Tukey’s corrections.

Article Snippet: Although small-sized zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs)—pyramids, plates, and spheres—possess the ability to inhibit the activity of a typical enzyme β-galactosidase in a biomimetic way [ ], our results exclude a profound effect of ZnO NPs on α-galactosidase activity—the concentration of raffinose and stachyose in cotyledons (in 4-day-old seedlings they were absent) under ZnO NPs treatment was as low as in the control ( ).

Figure Lengend Snippet: The effect of ZnO NPs on the concentration of metabolites mostly differentiating root ( A ) and epicotyl ( B ) samples (according to PCA analysis— and ) of 4-day-old seedlings of pea ( Pisum sativum L.) cv. Nemo and cv. Tarchalska. Means of 3 replicates + SD . The same letters (A–D and a–d separately for cv. Nemo and Tarchalska, respectively) by the values indicate no significant ( p < 0.05) differences based on ANOVA analysis and Tukey’s post hoc corrections.
