The morphology of the isolates was assessed according to Landolt 1986 [1 ] as well as Les et al. [11 (link)]. An M205 FCA fluorescence stereo microscope (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany) and Axio Imager 2 light microscope (Zeiss, Jena, Germany) was used.

Hydrogen Peroxide Visualization with PO1

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Hydrogen peroxide was visualized with PO1. PO1 (Tocris) was dissolved in DMSO to make a 500 μM stock and was further diluted in water to make a 40 μM working solution. Seven days-old seedlings were incubated in PO1 for 5 min in the dark and were then rinsed with water and mounted in water for imaging. Seedlings were imaged on a Leica M205 FCA fluorescence stereo microscope using a 545-620nm filter.

Arabidopsis thaliana Genetic Mutant Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All Arabidopsis thaliana plants used in this study were in the Col‐0 ecotype background. The hst‐1, hst‐3, ago1‐18, ago1‐27, hyl1‐2, se‐1, dcl2‐1, dcl3‐1, dcl4‐2, hen1‐6, and shr‐2 mutant lines and pSUC2::GFP, pSUC2::tmGFP9, and SUC‐SUL transgenic lines were described previously (Fukaki et al, 1998 (link); Telfer & Poethig, 1998 (link); Imlau et al, 1999 (link); Prigge & Wagner, 2001 (link); Morel et al, 2002 (link); Bollman et al, 2003 (link); Himber et al, 2003 (link); Vazquez et al, 2004a (link); Xie et al, 2004 (link); Li et al, 2005 ; Sorin et al, 2005 (link); Stadler et al, 2005 (link); Xie et al, 2005 (link)). Surface sterilized seeds were sown on ½MS medium containing MES buffer and vitamins (Duchefa Biochemie) and solidified with 0.8% microagar. Plants were cultivated in vitro at 21°C in 12‐h light/12‐h dark conditions for two weeks before transplanting in soil. Further growing was done at 21°C in 16‐h light/8‐h dark conditions. Light intensity was 120 µE.m−2.s−1 in every condition. Plant phenotype pictures were taken on 4‐week‐old plants, with the exception of in vitro cultured plants, for which phenotyping pictures of 2‐week‐old plants were taken using a M205 FCA fluorescence stereo microscope (Leica).

Quantifying Anti-pH3-PS10 Immunolabeling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For imaging of anti-pH3-PS10 immunolabeled samples, z-stacks of mounted animals (tail region, dorsal side up) were collected on a Leica M205 FCA Fluorescence stereo microscope. The magnification was set at 8.04X, DAPI (ET DAPI) and pH3-PS10 (ET mCHER) channels we used. The same exposures were maintained across samples. After image acquisition parallax correction was applied in the LAS × software (version 3.4.1.17822). Animal area and number of PS10+ cells were quantified in FIJI running ImageJ 1.53t40 . Briefly, a z-projection was created from the parallax files by selecting the max intensity for projection type, and the channels were split. “Auto Local Threshold” with method Otsu and default settings was used on the DAPI image to identify the animal area, which was outlined using the wand tool, manually cropped to the post-pharyngeal region if necessary, then measured. pH3-PS10+ cells were counted using the “Find Maxima” function within the outline generated with the DAPI channel. The area and pH3-PS10 count results were exported to excel where the number of mitosis per mm2 were calculated.

Zebrafish Embryo Anesthesia and Imaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Zebrafish embryos at approximately 27 hpf were collected, dechorionated using ethanol-sterilized forceps, and moved to fresh fish water. Using a transfer pipette, individual embryos were anesthetized by transfer into 1X Tricane solution, prepared by diluting 25 X Tricane solution (pH 7 solution of 4 mg/mL Tricane-S (Syndel) and 20 mM TRIS) to 1 X in fish water. Fish were subsequently transferred into 1.5% low-melt agarose (Lonza, 50100), and transferred to a clear dish suspended in low-melt agarose for imaging. Bright-field and GFP fluorescence images were taken on a Leica M205 FCA fluorescence stereo microscope. Images were taken with the same settings for all embryos, at 5.5× magnification, and representative embryos were shown.

Pollen Morphometric Analysis Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
100 to 600 uL freshly shed pollen was collected in tassel bags before being added to individual microcentrifuge tubes containing 800 uL EAA fixative solution (3:1 ethanol to acetic acid). Pollen samples were inverted 3x before being parafilmed and stored at 20 C. Samples were imaged using a LEICA M205 FCA Fluorescence stereo microscope and the Leica Application Suite X (V 3.7.5.24914). Resulting images were imported into Fiji (ImageJ) (V 2.0.0) and subjected to the following processing pipeline: ‘Image -> Enhance Contrast’ (0.3%), ‘Adjust - >Threshold Image’ (Auto -> Apply), ‘Process -> Binary -> Make Binary’, ’Process -> Binary -> Watershed’, ‘Analyze -> Analyze Particles (Size (micron^2): 2000–14000, Circularity: 0.75–1.00, Show:Nothing, Display Results, Summarize, Exclude on edges, Include holes) -> Okay’. Particle measurements copied into a .csv file and loaded into R (V. 4.2.3) to produce plots with ggplot2 (V 3.4.3) and ggridges (0.5.4) packages.

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.
