Microautoradiography (MAR) is a conventional imaging method based on the daguerreotype. The technique is used to visualize the distribution of radionuclide-labeled compounds within a tissue section. However, application of the classical MAR method to plant tissue sections is associated with several difficulties. In this study, we report an MAR method applicable to fresh-frozen plant sections. O...

The study of plant development relies on techniques for the accurate visualization of plant tissue structure to understand cell patterning and patterns of gene expression. Current techniques for threedimensional (3D) imaging are limited with respect to the thickness of tissue that may be studied and the resolution that may be achieved. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) of living plant t...

The problem of antibiotic resistance emerging from the use and misuse of antibiotics in veterinary practice was considered as long ago as the 1960s by the famous Swann Committee. 1 What seems to be less well understood, and certainly less well documented, is the use of antimicrobials in the world of plant science. Antibiotics have been widely used in the control of contamination of micropropaga...

Herbivores can often control plant dynamics by mediating positive feedbacks in plant species’ influence on nutrient cycling. In a 7-yr field experiment in a nitrogenlimited Minnesota oak savanna, we tested whether herbivores accelerated or decelerated nitrogen (N) cycling through their effects on plants. We measured effects of excluding insect (primarily Orthoptera and Homoptera) and mammalian ...

BACKGROUND Agrobacterium tumefaciens has long been known to transform plant tissue in nature as part of its infection process. This natural mechanism has been utilised over the last few decades in laboratories world wide to genetically manipulate many species of plants. More recently this technology has been successfully applied to non-plant organisms in the laboratory, including fungi, where t...
