title: A simple autoradiographic technique for studying diffusion of water into seeds.
abstract: Visual observations on rates and modes of water penetration into black bean seeds and into wheat and sorghum kernels during conditioning were accomplished by an autoradiographic procedure that eliminates a freezing microtome and liquid and stripping film emulsions. Seeds soaked in tritiated H(2)O were hand sectioned before freeze-quenching in liquid N(2) and subsequent block autoradiography on nuclear medicine film.
