Plant growth and development rely on a delicate balance between cell proliferation and cell differentiation. The root apical meristem (RAM) of is an excellent model to study the cell cycle due to the coordinated relationship between nucleus shape and cell size at each stage, allowing for precise estimation of the cell cycle duration. In this study, we present a method for high-resolution visualization of RAM cells. This is the first protocol that allows for simultaneous high-resolution imaging of cellular and nuclear stains, being compatible with DNA replication markers such as EdU, including fluorescent proteins (H2B::YFP), SYTOX DNA stains, and the cell wall stain SR2200. This protocol includes a clarification procedure that enables the acquisition of high-resolution 3D images, suitable for detailed subsequent analysis.
植物的生长和发育依赖于细胞增殖与细胞分化之间的微妙平衡。由于根顶端分生组织(RAM)在每个阶段细胞核形状与细胞大小之间存在协调关系,这使得能够精确估计细胞周期持续时间,因此它是研究细胞周期的一个出色模型。在本研究中,我们提出了一种用于高分辨率可视化RAM细胞的方法。这是首个允许对细胞和细胞核染色进行同步高分辨率成像的方案,它与诸如EdU等DNA复制标记兼容,包括荧光蛋白(H2B::YFP)、SYTOX DNA染色剂以及细胞壁染色剂SR2200。该方案包括一个澄清程序,可实现高分辨率三维图像的采集,适用于后续的详细分析。
