A control experiment showed that the residual acetone had no effect on grain germination.
Control papers were treated with 0.15 ml acetone.
Monolayers were fixed with 75 % acetone after 1-2 days of incubation.
The acetone from the crude extracts was removed by evaporation under a stream of nitrogen and dry residues were dissolved in 100% (v/v) acetonitrile.
Due to the small amount of material available, only 15 aliquots of the sample could be prepared by settling in acetone on aluminum discs.
The slides were then dried overnight, dehydrated in a series of alcohols and acetone, and rinsed in xylene before being coverslipped.
After the acid leaching, the samples were washed twice with standard acetone, centrifuged and dried.
Comparisons of freeze substitution using acetone, ethanol or methanol, showed similar morphological appearance.
