Abstract:
Dry seeds of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) subjected to electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy show a characteristic sextet of Mn2+ . Perchloric acid extracts of seeds also show a resolved hyperfine sextet of Mn2+ . The Mna+ content of seeds show a direct linear relationship with the height of the wheat cultivars. The Mn2+ content of the seeds may be taken as a parameter to determine the height of the mature plant.
