โœฆ Synopsis

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been used to study seed structure . Seeds with shrunken, cracked, or ruptured seed coats are usually short-lived . Seed shrinkage is an indication of a weak seed coat, resulting in cracks and damage which ultimately leads to loss of seed vigor or even death (Abdul-Baki and Anderson, 1970). This paper compares five different methods of seed preparation to observe shrinkage and cracks in onion seed coats.

This paper describes a method for primary fixation of cultured cells for scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopy using microwaves alone. This method of fixation takes 8 seconds and is therefore quicker and less expensive than conventional fixation techniques. The preservation of ce

contents of the charcoals produced from the soft woods are > 70 wt % and of the same order as that of the Rhyzophorae. Similarly, the calorilic values of all charcoals do not differ significantly. Thus it may be concluded that these woods can be used instead of the Rhyzophorae to produce industrial
