The Study of Phloem Development and Structure in Arabidopsis

kavin submitted, created time 7 months 2 days (www.plantcell.org)

Currently, examination of the cellular structure of plant organs and the gene expression therein largely relies on the production of tissue sections. Here, the authors present a staining technique that can be used to image entire plant organs using confocal laser scanning microscopy. This technique produces high-resolution images that allow three-dimensional reconstruction of the cellular organization of plant organs.
