Summary of experimental design. The basic unit of the competition experiment consists of five plant combinations: diploid growing alone (2x), diploid growing with intraploidy level (2x–2x), diploid growing with polyploid (2x–8x), polyploid growing with intraploidy level (8x–8x), and polyploid growing alone (8x). Each competition unit was replicated five times per treatment: the control (no copper oxide nanoparticles or bulk particles), copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles, and CuO bulk particles. The experiment used a completely randomized design.
