Journal ArticleDOI
Penetration of dry seeds with chemicals applied in acetone.
Kar-Ling Tao,Anwar A. Khan +1 more
TL;DR: Acetone is able to carry chemicals through the seed coats to reach the embryo and the chemicals reaching the embryo are biologically effective.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in the Strength of Lettuce Endosperm during Germination
Kar-Ling Tao,Anwar A. Khan +1 more
TL;DR: The forces required to puncture intact lettuce (Lactuca sativa) seed and pericarp, endosperm and embryo were measured by the Instron Universal Testing Machine and changes in the strength of theendosperm do not appear to be related directly to protrusion of the radicle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential Effects of Actinomycin D and Cordycepin in Lettuce Seed Germination and RNA Synthesis
Kar-Ling Tao,Anwar A. Khan +1 more
TL;DR: Cordycepin markedly inhibited (3)H-uridine incorporation into RNA of intact seeds during the first 10 and 12 hours of incubation, whereas actinomycin D had little effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in Isoperoxidases during Cold Treatment of Dormant Pear Embryo
Kar-Ling Tao,Anwar A. Khan +1 more
TL;DR: The number of isoperoxidases and the intensity of certain isozymes increased with increasing periods of stratification of pear (Pyrus communis cv. Bartlett) embryos.
