From: Impact of cryopreservation on DNA damage in Acer platanoides L. seeds evaluated by the comet assay
Results of principal component analysis (PCA) for combined data of desiccated and cryopreserved seeds. PCA was applied on the correlations of DNA strand breaks (DNA SB), DNA integrity number (DIN), the relative global level of (C), 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (oxoG), 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), germination (Germ), seedling emergence (SE), viability measured by TTC (TTC), in vitro survival (Surv), in vitro regrowth (Reg), electrolyte leakage (EL), hydrogen peroxide in cotyledons (OH cot) or embryonic axes (OH ex), hydrogen peroxide in cotyledons (H2O2 cot) or embryonic axes (H2O2 ex). Ellipse confidence level = 0.95.
