Methods are described which allow one to observe chloroplasts in mesophyll cells from leaves of Arabidopsis, determine their number per cell, measure their area, and determine a value for chloroplast coverage inside mesophyll cells. Non-green plastids can also be imaged either by using staining, or by exploiting fluorescent proteins targeted to the plastid in non-green parts of the plant, such as the roots, in transgenic Arabidopsis.
本文描述了一些方法,这些方法可以让人观察拟南芥叶片叶肉细胞中的叶绿体,确定每个细胞中的叶绿体数量,测量其面积,并确定叶肉细胞内叶绿体覆盖度的值。对于非绿色质体,也可以通过染色,或者利用靶向植物非绿色部分(如转基因拟南芥的根)质体的荧光蛋白进行成像。
