Major advances have been made in our understanding of anther developmental processes in flowering plants through a combination of genetic studies, cell biological technologies, biochemical analyses, microarray and high-throughput sequencing-based approaches. In this chapter, we summarize widely used protocols for pollen viability staining, investigation of anther morphogenesis by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), light microscopy of semi-thin sections, ultrathin section-based transmission electron microscopy (TEM), TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated 2'-deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate (dUTP) nick end labeling) assay for tapetum programmed cell death, and laser microdissection procedures to obtain specific cells or cell layers for transcriptome analysis.
通过遗传研究、细胞生物学技术、生物化学分析、基于微阵列和高通量测序的方法相结合,我们对开花植物花粉囊发育过程有了更深入的理解。在本章中,我们总结了广泛使用的花粉活力染色、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)研究花粉囊形态发生、半薄切片的光学显微镜、基于超薄切片的透射电子显微镜(TEM)、TUNEL(末端脱氧核苷酸转移酶介导的 2'-脱氧尿苷 5'-三磷酸(dUTP)缺口末端标记)法用于绒毡层程序性细胞死亡的检测,以及激光显微切割程序,以获得特定的细胞或细胞层进行转录组分析。
