The viability of a variety of wheat seeds was investigated by use of the EPR technique. Three different types of spin probes (4-Hydroxy-TEMPO (TANOL), 3-Carbamoyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-pyrrolin-l-yloxy, 3-Carbamoyl-PROXYL) were utilized in examining the viability of embryo cells. The penetration of...
