Abstract

Here, we describe methods of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) based on conventional chemical fixation and high-pressure freezing (HPF) and freeze-substitution (FS) to examine the ultrastructure of Arabidopsis pollen grains and pollen tubes. Compared to other plant samples, such as root or leaf, pollen grains have thick pollen coat and cell wall which limit the permeation of fixative. Thus, it is difficult to obtain high-quality ultrastructural images of pollen. Moreover, pollen tube is very soft and the traditional procedure is too harsh to get an intact pollen tube sample. Up to now, there is no available mature protocol for TEM sample preparation of Arabidopsis pollen tube. Here, we describe the details and step-by-step procedures of chemical fixation, HPF, FS, and resin-embedding protocols for Arabidopsis pollen and pollen tube. In addition, we also provide a method on how to get longitudinal sections of pollen tubes.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 March 2021.
All research outputs
#18,683,314
of 23,150,406 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#8,027
of 13,279 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#312,047
of 421,860 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#694
of 1,075 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,150,406 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,279 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.4. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 421,860 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,075 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
