Penetration of dry seeds with chemicals applied in acetone.
Acetone is able to carry chemicals through the seed coats to reach the embryo. The amount of chemical penetrating into the seeds depends on the seed type, permeation time, and the concentration of solution. The chemicals reaching the embryo are biologically effective.
