VEGF and p-VEGFR2 were examined on 8 μm cryosections (on day 7 after laser photocoagulation). The cryosections were blocked with 1% bovine serum albumin for 4 h at RT, then incubated with VEGF antibody (1:50) and p-VEGFR2 antibody (1:50) at 4 °C overnight. For VEGF and p-VEGFR2 staining, antigen retrieval was obtained through heated water bath at 37 °C for 10 min. Thereafter, the slides were stained with Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:200; #A27034, Thermo Fisher Scientific), Alexa Fluor 546-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (1:200; #A11030, Thermo Fisher Scientific), and DAPI (1:500). The photomicrographs were taken by a digital high-sensitivity camera (Hamamatsu, ORCA-ER C4742-95, Japan).

Excitation
of the Pdots samples was performed with pump pulses generated via
an optical parametric amplifier from 800 nm pulses, which were converted
to 740 nm and subsequently doubled to attain 370 nm with an OPO crystal.
Aqueous solutions of Pdots were measured using a 1 cm quartz cuvette
and an excitation power at the sample of 300 μW. Fluorescence
at a right angle to the excitation was passed through a Bruker SPEC
250IS spectrograph (ca. 200 nm observation window) and onto the streak
camera (Hamamatsu streak camera and blanking unit C5680 in combination
with a Synchroscan Unit M5675). A charge-coupled device (CCD) camera
(Hamamatsu Orca-ER C4742–95) was used in the binning mode (2
× 2 pixels) to give a 512 × 512 pixel matrix. The observed
time window in time range 2 was 700 ps, while in time range 4, it
was 2000 ps with FWHM instrument response functions of 30 or 45 ps.
For the decay curves obtained from the streak camera, the procedure
written in Matlab was employed assuming a Gaussian instrument response
function. Time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) measurements
were carried out in a time window of 50 ns using a pulsed diode laser
source (Edinburgh Instruments EPL470, λexc. = 405
nm).32 (link)

Cytogenetic analysis of wheat and mutant seedlings

Root tip squashes from germinating seedlings of T. aestivum cv. Brigand 8/2 and M3 seedlings of lines 12A5, 12H3 and 7C12 were prepared as described in Gill et al. (1991 (link)) with minor modifications.
Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) was carried out as described in Prieto et al. (2007 (link)). The probe used was a dUTP-digoxigenin labelled product generated by amplification of high quality DNA of Ae. sharonensis accession 1644 with UTV39 primers. Labelling with dUTP-digoxigenin was carried out directly, with no nick translation being necessary due to the short length of the PCR product. Observations were made using a Nikon Eclipse E600 CCD microscope and images captured with a Hamamatsu ORCA-ER C4742-95 digital camera. Images were merged using ImageJ software.

PKR tissue localization was examined on 8 μm cryosections (on day 7 after laser photocoagulation). The cryosections were blocked with 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 4 h at room temperature and then incubated with antibodies for PKR (1:50; Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and CD31 (1:50, Abcam, Cambridge, MA) at 4 °C overnight. For CD31 staining, antigen retrieval was performed by incubating the sections in a heated water bath at 37 °C for 10 min. Thereafter, the slides were stained with Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated goat anti-mouse immunoglobulin G, Alexa Fluor 546 conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:200; Invitrogen), and Hoechst (1:2,000; Sigma-Aldrich). The photomicrographs were obtained using a digital high-sensitivity camera (Hamamatsu, ORCA-ER C4742–95; Hamamatsu, Japan).

For analysis of MAMP-stimulated callose deposits, 5-day-old dark-grown seedlings were soaked in 1 μM MAMPs for 16 h before aniline blue staining22 (link)69 (link). Callose spots in cells from the base of the hypocotyl were observed using Nikon E600 epifluorescence microscope equipped with a × 20 0.5-numerical aperture PlanFluor objective under ultraviolet light. Images were captured with a CCD camera (ORCA-ER C4742-95; Hamamatsu Photonics) and Metamorph software (Version 4.6r9, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA). The mean number of callose spots present in a 0.12-mm2 region of interest in each cell was quantified using ImageJ.

Visualizing Targeted Opsin Expression

To identify target brain region, we used an upright microscope with a 4 X/0.10 NA air objective (Olympus) before switching to 60 X/0.90 W NA water immersion objective to confirm ChroME or C1V1 opsin expression on target cells. For ChroME, the mRuby3 fluorescent reporter was excited with monochromatic light transmitted through a fiber optic into the microscope (Olympus 100 w high-pressure mercury burner model BH2RFLT3). Emitted fluorescence was band-passed with an Olympus U-49006 ET CY5 filter set: 620/60 excitation filter, 520 dichroic mirrors, and 700/75 emission filter. For C1V1, the EYFP fluorescent reporter was visualized via a 500/24 ex, 520 dichroic mirrors, and a 542/27 em (Semrock). Fluorescence images were acquired (50ms exposure; 10 Hz) using a camera (Orca-ER C4742-95, Hamamatsu) and shutter (UNIBLITZ model VCM-D1) controlled by HCImage software (Hamamatsu). We visualized individual neurons’ fluorescence deep (100 μm) into the brain slice in layer 2/3, evidence of C1V1 or mRuby3 ChroMe expression.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
