Whole-mount fluorescent in situ hybridization (WM-FISH) is an effective tool to observe chromosome behavior in tissues or organs. However, it is difficult to obtain a precise spatial profile of fluorescent signals in roots using conventional WM-FISH mainly because of the severe damage caused during the processing. To address this problem, we established a novel WM-FISH analysis for intact roots of Arabidopsis thaliana and successfully obtained a precise spatial profile of nuclear size and centromere signals. The two main improvements in the novel WM-FISH analysis are: (i) hybridization was performed directly on MAS-coated glass slides covered with silicon wells and (ii) conditions for enzyme treatment were optimized (37 °C, 45 s). After the WM-FISH using a centromere probe, we analyzed the results by 3D data processing to quantify the nuclear volume and number of centromere signals of the obtained cortical cell files and determined the position of each nucleus in intact roots. Then we plotted the nuclear volume and number of centromere signals versus distance from the quiescent center to evaluate the precise spatial profile of each parameter.
整体荧光原位杂交(WM-FISH)是观察组织或器官中染色体行为的有效工具。然而,由于在处理过程中造成的严重损伤,传统的 WM-FISH 很难获得根中荧光信号的精确空间分布。为了解决这个问题,我们建立了一种新的拟南芥完整根 WM-FISH 分析方法,成功获得了核大小和着丝粒信号的精确空间分布。该新的 WM-FISH 分析的两个主要改进是:(i)直接在覆盖硅井的 MAS 涂层玻璃载玻片上进行杂交;(ii)优化了酶处理条件(37°C,45s)。在使用着丝粒探针进行 WM-FISH 后,我们通过 3D 数据处理来分析结果,以定量获得的皮层细胞文件的核体积和着丝粒信号的数量,并确定完整根中每个核的位置。然后,我们绘制核体积和着丝粒信号数量与从静止中心的距离的关系图,以评估每个参数的精确空间分布。
