Leaf epidermis peels Some plant leaves (especially from monocots) can easily be “peeled” to isolate strips of epidermis. This can be used to isolate live guard cells, which make up the stoma of plant leaves and regulate gas exchange. Reagents and materials provided * Leaf samples. * Coverslips and slides. * Tweezers. * Razor blades. * Tap water
This method uses clear nail polish to make an impression or cast of the leaf surface. The cast is removed with sticky tape and placed on a microscope slide. a) Collect materials. Find a suitable leaf. Identify the upper and lower surfaces of the leaf, as they are on the plant under
12 paź 2016 · The described method allows analysis of stomatal apertures with minimal leaf manipulation and usage of the same leaf for sequential measurements, and will facilitate the analysis of several lines in parallel.
This protocol provides step-by-step instructions to fix maize leaf tissue, to peel the maize epidermis, to stain epidermal peels with TBO and finally to image using a standard light microscope. The benefit of using epidermal peels is to generate high-quality micrographs of epidermal cells for quantitative analysis.
