  • Title: Investigating the Distribution of Stable Paramagnetic Species in an Apple Seed Using X-Band EPR and EPR Imaging.
    Author: Nakagawa K, Epel B.
    Journal: J Oleo Sci; 2017 Mar 01; 66(3):315-319. PubMed ID: 28190804.
    Abstract:
    This study investigated the location and distribution of paramagnetic species in apple seeds using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and X-band (9 GHz) EPR imaging (EPRI). EPR primarily detected two paramagnetic species per measured seed. These two different radical species were assigned as stable radicals and Mn2+ species based on the g values and hyperfine components. The signal from the stable radical was noted at g ≈ 2.00 and was strong and relatively stable. The subsequent noninvasive EPRI of the radical present in each seed revealed that the stable radicals were located primarily in the seed coat, with very few radicals observed in the cotyledon of the seed. These results indicate that the stable radical species were only found within the seed coat, and few radical species were found in other seed parts.
