Extracted chemical components were analyzed by separation with thin layer chromatography (TLC) using aluminum-backed TLC plates (Fluka, silica gel F254). TLC plates were developed in saturated chambers using mobile phases of different polarities, namely benzene/ethanol/ammonia hydroxide (BEA) (nonpolar/basic) (18:2:0.2), chloroform/ethyl acetate/formic acid (CEF) (intermediate polarity/acidic) (10:8:2), and ethyl acetate/methanol/water (EMW) (polar/neutral) (10:5.4:4).33 Separated compounds on the TLC plates were examined under ultraviolet light (254 and 365 nm) then sprayed with vanillin-sulfuric acid reagent (0.1 g vanillin [Sigma]: 28 mL methanol:1 mL concentrated sulfuric acid) and heated at 110°C for optimal color development.

Vanillin Staining for Silique Tissue Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For staining the silique tissue, the WT flowers were emasculated at stage 12c
13 (link) and pollinated with
gcs1/+ pollen grains. For
agl62 experiments, the
agl62 mutant flowers were emasculated at stage 12c and pollinated with WT,
gcs1/+, and
agl62 pollen grains. The siliques were collected at 3 days after pollination (DAP).
For vanillin staining, the ovules were manually dissected from the ovaries and mounted on slides in 1% (wt/vol) vanillin (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde; Sigma) in 6 N HCl solution. Slides were analyzed after 20 min of incubation. Samples were analyzed with a Leica DM2500 microscope using differential interference contrast optics. Images were recorded with a Leica DFC 300 FX digital camera at a magnification of 5×, 10× and 20×. The microscopic protocols followed were as previously described

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lipid content was determined as described previously by Visnovitz et al.76 (link). In brief, 50 mg of vanillin (Sigma, W310727) was dissolved in 50 mL of 17% phosphoric acid (Sigma, 79617) to create phosphor-vanillin reagent. 200 µL of 96% sulfuric acid was added either to 40 µL of 1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocoline (DOPC) (Sigma, P6354) liposome standards, or to 40 µL of EVs suspended in sterile filtered PBS. After being vortexed, samples and standards were incubated at 90 °C in a fume hood for 20 min. Tubes were cooled down and 120 µL of phospho-vanillin reagent was added to each tube and 280 µL of each sample was transferred into a 96-well plate and was incubated at 37 °C for 1 h. Absorbance was determined at 540 nm using a plate reader (Multiskan Go, Thermo Scientific). Total PC content was measured using a colorimetric assay (CS0001, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany).

The ligand was separated from the retained cationic fraction by size-exclusion LH-20 chromatography using methanohwater (70:30) as the mobile phase. Fractions were checked using thin layer chromatography on silica gel-coated plates (Merck, USA) and developed with methanol:water (70:30 v/v) in a saturated chromatography chamber for about 20 min. The plates were visualized under UV light (254 nm) and stained with vanillin (1% in ethanol) and dichlorofluorescein (0.1% in ethanol-NaOH 2.5 mM) (Sigma-Aldrich, Germany). Fluorescent fractions were pooled and re-purified by HPLC as previously described (Kulkarni et al. 2010) , with slight modifications. Isocratic analytical HPLC was performed using an RP-C18 column (Nucleosil 120 C18, 5 urn, 250x4 mm, Scharlab, Spain). The mobile phase for alkaloid elution was acetonitrile:water (85:15) at a flow rate 0.5 mL/min for 150 |iL of sample. Sample peaks were detected using UV light at 254 nm.

Evaluation of Yeast Tolerance to Vanillin

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
S. cerevisiae strains (Table 1) were purchased from European Saccharomyces cerevisiae Archive for Functional Analysis and grown in YEPD (1% bacto-yeast extract, 2% bacto-proteose peptone, and 2% glucose) at 30°C unless stated otherwise. Vanillin was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (USA). To determine S. cerevisiae sensitivity to Vanillin, various Vanillin concentrations were added to the medium.
Cell growth was quantified by measuring the optical density at 600 nm (OD 600 ). For microarray experiments, exponentially growing cells were harvested by filtration [31] and resuspended in YEPD containing 4 mM Vanillin for 2 h. Cells were then cultured in 500 ml baffled flasks (Nalgene, USA) containing 100 ml of YEPD supplemented with various concentrations of Vanillin at 30°C for 30 h with shaking at 200 rpm. For plate growth assay, S. cerevisiae was grown in YEPD overnight and diluted to an OD 600 of 0.2. Then, 5-fold serial dilutions were prepared, and 10 µl of each dilution was spotted onto a YEPD plate containing 6 mM Vanillin. The plates were incubated at 30°C for 2 or 3 days [25] .

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.
