We report on a nondestructive clearing technique that enhances transmission of light through specimens from diverse plant species, opening unique opportunities for microscope-enabled plant research. After clearing, plant organs and thick tissue sections are amenable to deep imaging. The clearing method is compatible with immunocytochemistry techniques and can be used in concert with common fluorescent probes, including widely adopted protein tags such as GFP, which has fluorescence that is preserved during the clearing process.
我们报道了一种无损透明化技术，该技术可增强不同植物物种标本的光传输，为基于显微镜的植物研究带来了独特机遇。透明化处理后，植物器官和厚组织切片适合进行深度成像。该透明化方法与免疫细胞化学技术兼容，可与常见荧光探针协同使用，包括广泛应用的蛋白质标签如绿色荧光蛋白（GFP），其荧光在透明化过程中得以保留。
