  Ian:
  For plant materials )like leaves, stems, etc) I always used light green and safranin with very good results.

Subject: [Histonet] Barley roots


A question for the botanical histologist. I've just fixed,
processed and cut barley roots for histology, so next is the staining
for
general structure. Being a humble physiologist it's back to the books
for
techniques. I've got a copy of Plant Microtechnique and Microscopy by
Steven
Ruzin and several techniques look good. Johansen's safranin and fast
green
or safranin O and orange G seems appropriate, but am I on the right
track
and which one? Comments on botanic staining would be welcome.

Ian.
