The new method described here improves the safety of dissection and maceration of soft plant tissues for microscopic imaging by using the harmless enzyme pectinase. Methods and Results Leaf material from a variety of land plants was obtained from living plants and dried herbarium specimens. Concentrations of aqueous pectinase and soaking schedules were optimized, and tissues were manually dissected while submerged in fresh solution following a soaking period. Most leaves required 2–4 h of soaking; however, delicate leaves could be macerated after 30 min while tougher leaves required 12 h to 3 days of soaking. Staining techniques can also be used with this method, and permanent or semi‐permanent slides can be prepared. The epidermis, vascular tissue, and individual cells were imaged at magnifications of 10× to 400×. Only basic safety precautions were needed. Conclusions This pectinase method is a cost‐effective and safe way to obtain images of epidermal peels, separated tissues, or isolated cells from a wide range of plant taxa.","PeriodicalId":8022,"journal":{"name":"Applications in Plant Sciences","volume":"11 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2023-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71419866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subsequently co-opted to describe the sequencing and analysis of molecules (from nucleic acids to proteins), bioinformatics has diverse applications including the analysis, visualization, storage, and generation of data relating to living organisms and the molecular information they carry. Plant biology has reaped dividends from the development and maturation of bioinformatics; it has not only extended our understanding of model plant species such as &lt;i&gt;Arabidopsis thaliana&lt;/i&gt; (Cantó-Pastor et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;) but also driven innovative solutions to characterize non-model species (Nevado et al., &lt;span&gt;2014&lt;/span&gt;). Both avenues of discovery contribute to key objectives in improving food security, conservation, and biotechnology.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The size and complexity of many plant genomes has historically made their analysis financially and computationally difficult. Frequent polyploidy and repeat element expansion make the elucidation of plant genome sequences challenging (Soltis et al., &lt;span&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;). Furthermore, high heterozygosity in wild populations, pervasive hybridization, and a lack of inbred lines present roadblocks to analyses such as read mapping and assembly (Kajitani et al., &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;). Long-read technologies have become ever more accessible in recent years, and algorithmic advances have accommodated sequential updates to error models, read lengths, and library types (Michael and VanBuren, &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;). Moreover, novel methods to scaffold contigs and obtain long-range interaction information have driven impressive improvements in genome assembly quality, making telomere-to-telomere genome sequencing projects an achievable goal for many labs (Kress et al., &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Long-read technologies paired with novel mapping algorithms have fueled discovery of new transposable element (TE) dynamics, and there has been an associated resurgence of interest in their role in adaptive trait evolution and phenotypic variation (Schrader and Schmitz, &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;; Pimpinelli and Piacentini, &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;). Bioinformatics developments in this field have led to vast improvements in our ability to detect complex TE mobilization patterns such as nested insertions and structural variants (Bree et al., &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;; Lemay et al., &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;). Despite these advancements, characterization and annotation of genomic features such as genes and repetitive elements remain challenging due to species-specific genomic configurations, taxonomically patchy reference databases, and a lack of robust benchmarking and quality control. While structural and functional annotation methods still have significant obstacles to ov","PeriodicalId":8022,"journal":{"name":"Applications in Plant Sciences","volume":"11 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aps3.11538","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44733584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
