Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of Pinus sylvestris and Larix decidua seeds show that priming with PEG+200 mg kg(-1) gibberelic acid (GA(3)) results in appreciably higher free radical contents than in unprimed control samples. Only relatively minor changes in the free radical levels
In this work, we report for the first time the alkaline periodate oxidation on lignocelluloses for the selective isolation of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). With the high concentrations as potassium salt at pH 10, periodate ions predominantly exist as dimeric orthoperiodate ions (H2I2O104-). With
