Localization of the alkylresorcinols in rye and wheat caryopses

F. Tłuścik

Abstract


A histological method for detecting of 5-n-alkylresorcinols in grains sections using the staining with Fast Blue B was developed. Taking advantage of that method it was found that alkylresorcinols are localized exclusively in the outer cuticle, but both germs and starchy endosperm of rye and wheat seeds are entirely free of these compounds.
