Visualizing Hechtian Strands in Plants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Chemicals were exogenously applied by incubating 5-day-old seedlings in liquid 1/10th strength MS medium and supplementing them with 500 µM LaCl3 (Sigma-Aldrich), 500 µM GdCl3 (Sigma-Aldrich), 5 mM EGTA (Sigma-Aldrich), or 25 μM oryzalin (Sigma-Aldrich) for 2 h or 16 h, or with 250 µM bis-(o-aminophenoxy) ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetra-acetic acid (BAPTA) (Sigma-Aldrich) or 1 µM latrunculin B (Abcam) for 2 h or 16 h. The duration of the treatments was based on the general toxicity caused by the different chemical compounds in plants. To visualize Hechtian strands, 5-day-old cotyledon epidermal cells expressing the different markers were plasmolyzed for 4 h using 0.4 M mannitol. The images are an overlay of propidium iodide-stained cell walls with the localization of the GFP fusion proteins in green.

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.
