    Heat Induced Epitope Retrieval (HIER) Assisted Protein Immunostaining in Maize
    Authors:  Katsutoshi Tsuda and George Chuck, date: 06/05/2019, view: 43, Q&A: 0
    Protein immunostaining provides important spatio-temporal information about gene expression. Even using high quality antibodies, signal reproducibility and specificity can be problematic depending on tissue fixation methods. For example, ...
    Western Blot in Maize
    Author:  María Jazmín Abraham-Juárez, date: 06/05/2019, view: 100, Q&A: 0
    Since its introduction in 1979 (Towbin et al., 1979), protein blotting (Western blot) has become a routine tool in molecular biology research. It is used to detect low amounts of proteins in complex samples or to monitor protein expression ...
    Protein Immunoprecipitation in Maize
    Author:  María Jazmín Abraham-Juárez, date: 06/05/2019, view: 47, Q&A: 0
    Protein immunoprecipitation (IP) is a method used to identify cellular protein complexes. Whence, antibodies that specifically recognize a native bait protein or an epitope tag fused to the protein of interest allow the protein of interest to be ...
    Maize Protein Extraction for Different Downstream Applications
    Author:  María Jazmín Abraham-Juárez, date: 05/20/2019, view: 99, Q&A: 0
    Sample preparation is a key step for making plant proteomics analyses reproducible. The large amount of organic compounds, complex polysaccharides, proteases and other cellular components in vascular plants interfere with the analysis of proteins ...
    Hormone Treatments during Maize Vegetative and Reproductive Development
    Authors:  María Jazmín Abraham-Juárez and Harry Klein, date: 05/20/2019, view: 98, Q&A: 0
    Plant hormones are a group of organic natural compounds that can influence physiological processes when present at low concentrations. Plant biologists frequently use exogenous hormone application to modify plant physiology or to rescue mutants with ...
    Efficient Assembly of Large Multiplex CRISPR/Cas9 Guide Arrays for Maize Genome Editing
    Authors:  Jarrett Man and Madelaine E. Bartlett, date: 05/05/2019, view: 172, Q&A: 0
    CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing in maize is an effective tool, and researchers commonly wish to target multiple genes simultaneously. Transformation of maize is currently expensive and tedious, so researchers are incentivized to build vectors that ...
    Staining Maize Epidermal Leaf Peels with Toluidine Blue O
    Authors:  Marschal A. Bellinger, Sukhmani K. Sidhu and Carolyn G. Rasmussen, date: 04/20/2019, view: 317, Q&A: 0
    Maize is an important model organism for understanding cell patterning and development. The regular patterning of maize leaf epidermal cells has previously been characterized using the dye toluidine blue O (TBO). The polychromatic dye TBO ...
    Glue Impressions of Maize Leaves and Their Use in Classifying Mutants
    Authors:  Lindy A. Allsman, Raquel N. Dieffenbacher and Carolyn G. Rasmussen, date: 04/05/2019, view: 659, Q&A: 0
    Maize cells are surrounded by cell walls that can be easily visualized using a simple protocol outlined below. A glue impression is an imprint of maize epidermal cells on a glass slide made using a cyanoacrylate-based glue (super glue) that produces ...
    Mating and Tetrad Dissection in Chlamydomonas
    Author:  Frej Tulin, date: 04/05/2019, view: 364, Q&A: 0
    The ability to carry out controlled genetic crosses has contributed to making the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii an important model organism for the green plant kingdom (Merchant et al., 2007). This protocol ...
    Agrobacterium-mediated Transformation of Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi Leaf Explants
    Authors:  Ana Lilia Rosales-Campos and Abel Gutiérrez-Ortega, date: 01/20/2019, view: 1143, Q&A: 0
    Plant transformation has become an important technology for the large-scale production of a number of goods, ranging from vaccines and pharmaceutical products to biofuel. A plant that is frequently used for this purpose is Nicotiana tabacum ...
