  1. Control: Tap water, AVE 1: 250 mg/L A. vulgaris extract, AVE 2: 500 mg/L A. vulgaris extract, MMS: 4000 µM methyl methanesulfonate, MMSAVE 1: 4000 µM methyl methanesulfonate + 250 mg/L A. vulgaris extract, MMSAVE 2: 4000 µM methyl methanesulfonate + 500 mg/L A. vulgaris extract. Considering the same column, the letters from a to d next to the data represent the statistical difference between the mean values at p < 0.05.
