Improved and Reproducible Flow Cytometry Methodology for Nuclei Isolation from Single Root Meristem

Figure 1

(a) Homemade prototype slide developed in our laboratory: on a brand new slide, four diamond-cut slide pieces were attached with commercial glass glue so that they could form two fissures—the longitudinal one, where a root is allocated, and the narrow transversal one, for the passage of a razor blade in a steady way. (b) Boil-proof 2-mL microtube (Axygen). (c) Mini AA battery operated hand mixer, commercially available and inexpensive (dimensions:  cm). Bars = 1 cm.
