ABSTRACT

We investigated stable organic radicals formed in response to cold stratification in 'Fuji' apple seeds using X-band (9 GHz) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique. This technique primarily detected two paramagnetic species in each seed. These two different radical species were assigned as a stable organic radical and Mn
