[Histonet] Sugar cane

[Rene J Buesa]

The only thing difficult about sugar cane (I imagine the stems) is that it contains silicon spikes that can be very difficult to section because those fibers can affect the edge of the sectioning blades.
Other than that you can use any method for plant tissues.

Does anyone have a  protocol for the processing of sugar cane they can share?

Thanks much!
