Isolation and staining of wheat transfer cells
Keyword(s):
Xylem and phloem transfer cells in the vegetative nodes of wheat, fixed in a mixture of 3% ammonium dichromate + 3% potassium dichromate and 20% formalin (1:1), could be easily separated from the nodal tissue using a mixture of 2% chromium trioxide + 8% H2SO4 + 3% HNO3 solution. After maceration and staining (with either acidic or basic dyes), the well organized protoplast and the weakly birefringent walls of the transfer cells could be seen clearly.
