a Contact angles and retentions of various solutions (H2O, SPc, LNT and LNT/SPc complex) on the glass slides and tobacco leaves (8 cm²). The representative images were taken. Relative biomass was quantified (n = 8 biological replicates). Different letters above each bar indicate significant differences at p < 0.05 as determined by one-way ANOVA with Tukey HSD test (Contact angles: F3, 28 = 543.50, p < 0.001; Retention: F3, 28 = 24.90, p < 0.001). Bars represent the mean ± SEM. b Cellular uptake of various solutions (H2O, SPc, LNT, FITC-LNT and FITC-LNT/SPc complex). The representative fluorescent images of BY2 cells were taken at 3, 6 and 12 h after the incubation, with 5 representative images captured for each treatment. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
