Qualitative analysis of Rh123 stained eggplant seedling roots showing the fluorescence enhancement upon Co3O4-NPs exposure while control shows normal bright fluorescence of Rh123 with no diffusion of dye throughout root length (a). The representative flow cytometric images (b) and average Rh123 fluorescence (c) reaffirming mitochondrial dysfunction in protoplasts of Co3O4-NPs treated groups. MnXI is the fluorescence intensity of Rh123 (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs control)
