Abstract

In dry seeds of several kinds stored for up to 48 yr, no significant changes in electron spin resonance patterns (neither signal amplitudes nor shapes) vs. age were found, although four classes of signals were observed. This result is counter to some crude notions of how genetic damage from aging of seeds might arise from free radical reactions, and differs from ESR observations related to radiation-induced damage.
