Figure 6.   Detection of in vivo •OH attack on maize seedling coleoptile cell walls by 3H-fingerprinting during elongation growth. (A) Representative 3H-fingerprint of labeled products from segments of slowly and rapidly elongating coleoptiles. Signal intensity in the scintillation count, that is 3H-labeling of former oxo groups, is plotted against distance from the origin after high-voltage paper electrophoresis (PE) at pH 3.5. Only the rapidly elongating coleoptiles showed an appreciable neutral peak (co-migrating with glucose), which was eluted and re-run by paper chromatography (PC). (B) Representative 3H-fingerprint of labeled neutral products from segments of rapidly elongating coleoptiles. The sample was eluted from the fraction that co-migrated with glucose during PE and re-run on PC. For abbreviations of acidic and neutral markers see Fig. 3.
