A proper understanding of the structural organization of the plant
body is essential to any study in plant biology. Experimental
studies in vivo and in situ will lead to structural, physiological,
and cellular changes of the experimental material. To study
macroscopic and microscopic changes, different histological methods
and microtechniques can be used as they provide valuable
information of the experimental system. In addition, the observed
structural changes allow investigators to set hypothesis for
further studies based on one's own observation. Thus, proper
selection and utilization of microtechniques are a must for the
success of a research program. At present, an up-to-date collection
of protocols are not readily available in the literature. The
latest work in plant microtechniques was published in 1999 by Ruzin
but many others are no longer in print [e.g., Jensen (1964);
O'Brien and McCully (1981)]. Furthermore, a majority of published
works focus on techniques related to general processing and
staining procedures. A comprehensive treatment that encompasses
broader applications of microtechniques to other disciplines is
lacking [e.g., archeology, wood science, etc.]. There is a need to
create a comprehensive volume of botanical methods and protocols
which includes traditional and novel techniques that can be used by
researchers in plant science and investigators in other disciplines
that require plant microtechniques in their research and teaching.
This book covers a wide variety of applications and brings them
up-to-date to make them understandable and relevant, especially to
students using the methods for the first time. It is our intention
to create a useful reference for plant histology and related
methods that will serve as a foundation for plant scholars,
researchers, and teachers in the plant sciences.
