Hello everyone,
I am looking for a specific stain to observe the cellulose (fibers),
hemicellulose, and pectin separately in my plant specimens which are
dried and ground wheat straw.
I greatly appreciate if you let me know your recommended stains and
their protocols.
Actually, I have found several stains for lignin (e.g. phloroglucinol)
and pectin not cellulose and hemicellulose but, unfortunately, they
were for live tissues.
Many thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Mahsa
