Double Labeling of Microtubules and Actin Filaments in Maize Leaf Division Zone

Authors: Qiong Nan, Janette Mendoza and Michelle Renee Facette, date: 06/20/2019, view: 2054, Q&A: 1

Maize leaves grow in a gradient. The base of young maize leaves contains a high proportion of symmetrically and asymmetrically dividing cells, making the leaf an effective model system for the study of cell division. Here, we describe a double ...

When preparing the Fix solution, it is stated that AlexaFluor 568-Phalloidin needs to be added, and Materials and Reagents only need to have Goat anti-mouse AlexaFluor 568 and AlexaFluor 488-Phalloidin, so here is the mistake of writing AlexaFluor 488-Phalloidin as AlexaFluor 568-Phalloidin ?

Yes - thank you for catching this and our apologies. The fluor on the Phalloidin should be different than the fluor on the antibody. Thus, it should state AlexaFluor 488-Phalloidin is added (if using Goat anti-mouse AlexaFluor 568). These two colors can be reversed if you wish - we find the brighter actin staining easier to see - but either way it will work, as long as the microtubules and actin filaments are labelled with different colors.
