Rice Cultivation Protocol for Experiments

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Oryza sativa cv. Nipponbare was used for all experiments. Rice grain was surface sterilized with 70% (v/v) ethanol (Chem-Supply, SA, Australia) for 1 min and 30% (v/v) bleach (White King, NSW, Australia) with a few drops of Tween-20 (Sigma-Aldrich, MO, United States) for 30 min and washed three times with sterile dH2O. Surface sterilized rice grain was germinated in a petri dish with moist sterile filter paper (Whatman, United Kingdom) for 7–9 days prior to transplanting to 1 l pots filled with potting mix in a glasshouse maintained at 26°C and 70% relative humidity at The University of Melbourne (Melbourne, VIC, Australia). Lighting was provided through natural lighting supplemented with a mixture of high-pressure sodium and metal halide lamps for 12 h during the day. The potting mix was prepared by mixing one part washed fine sand (Col Smith, VIC, Australia), one part propagating sand (Brunnings, VIC, Australia), two parts premium vermiculate (Exfoliators, VIC, Australia), and one part General Mix potting media (Australian Growing Solutions, VIC, Australia) fertilized with Osmocote Exact Standard 8–9 M (ICL, NSW, Australia) at a rate of 6 g/L.

Sections of jejuna and colon were cut from paraffin blocks at 4 μm thickness and mounted onto silane-coated slides (Lomb Scientific Pty Ltd). Tissue samples were dewaxed in xylene (Merck Pty Ltd) and rehydrated through a graded series of ethanol (Chem Supply). Sections were immersed in 10 mM citrate buffer (pH 6.0, Sigma-Aldrich Pty Ltd) and antigen retrieval performed by heating sections in a microwave (LG) on high (800 W) until boiling and then on low (160 W) for 10 min. Sections were allowed to cool and endogenous peroxidise activity subsequently blocked with 3 % H 2 O 2 in methanol (Chem Supply). Non-specific antibody binding was blocked with 20 % normal horse serum (NHS) (Sigma-Aldrich Pty Ltd) in PBS for 30 min at room temperature (RT). Avidin-Biotin Blocking Kit (Vector Laboratories) was used to block endogenous avidin-biotin activity. Sections were incubated overnight with a primary goat polyclonal antibody (diluted in 10 % NHS) directed at GFAP at 1:400 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, #SC-6171) at 4 °C. Sections were then incubated with an appropriate secondary antibody (20 min at RT), ABC labelling reagent (30 min at RT) and developed with 3,3′-Diaminobenzidine. Sections were counterstained with Lillie-Mayer's hematoxylin (HDS Scientific Supplies Pty Ltd), dehydrated and cleared in xylene (Merck Pty Ltd) before being mounted.

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.
