Abstract excerpt
Dioxins are highly toxic persistent organic pollutants bioaccumulated by both plants and animals that cause severe developmental abnormalities in humans. We investigated the effects of dioxins on seed development in Arabidopsis. Plants were exposed to various concentrations of the most toxic congener of dioxins, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and the effects on seed development were analysed in-depth...
