Plant Cells and Tissues

65.6K
Plant tissues are collections of similar cells performing related functions. Different plant tissues will have their own specialized roles and can be combined with other tissues to form organs such as flowers, fruit, stem, and leaves. Two major types of plant tissue include meristematic and permanent tissue.

Plant Tissue Culture

40.6K
Plant tissue culture is widely used in both primary and applied science. Applications range from plant development studies to functional gene studies, crop improvement, commercial micropropagation, virus elimination, and conservation of rare species.

Plants are multicellular eukaryotes with tissue systems made of various cell types that carry out specific functions. Different tissues work together to perform a unique function and form an organ. Organs working together form organ systems. Vascular plants have two distinct organ systems: a shoot system and a root system. The shoot system consists of two portions: the vegetative (non-reproductive) parts of the plant, such as the leaves and the stems, and the reproductive parts of the plant,...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

56.0K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Renal Drug Clearance: Comparison Between Renal Excretion Methods

605
Renal clearance is a critical parameter encompassing kidney filtration, secretion, and reabsorption processes. It is calculated using a specific equation to determine the rate at which the kidneys clear a drug.
Renal clearance is often associated with the renal glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which represents the rate at which plasma is filtered through the glomeruli in the kidney. When drug reabsorption is minimal and there is no active secretion, renal clearance is closely related to the...

Summary

Bead-beating effectively liberates nucleic acids from plant tissues for microbial detection. Pressure-cycling technology (PCT) did not consistently improve yields compared to bead-beating or mortar and pestle methods.

Area of Science:

  • Plant pathology
  • Molecular biology
  • Microbial detection

Background:

  • Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) relies on efficient nucleic acid extraction from host and microbial tissues.
  • Physical disruption methods are crucial for liberating nucleic acids during extraction for plant-associated microbe detection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy of pressure-cycling technology (PCT) against common physical disruption techniques for plant tissue.
  • To evaluate nucleic acid yield and amplifiability from various plant tissues using different disruption methods.

Main Methods:

  • Tested six plant tissue types and Phytophthora capsici oospore preparations.
  • Compared pressure-cycling technology (PCT) with bead-beating and mortar and pestle disruption methods.
  • Assessed nucleic acid yield and PCR amplifiability post-disruption.

Main Results:

  • Bead-beating consistently yielded high amounts of amplifiable nucleic acid across tested tissues.
  • Pressure-cycling technology (PCT) did not show consistent improvements in nucleic acid yield or amplifiability.
  • Mortar and pestle offered a low-cost alternative with good results, though less consistent than bead-beating.

Conclusions:

  • Bead-beating is a highly effective method for disrupting plant tissues for microbial nucleic acid extraction.
  • PCT is not consistently superior to established methods like bead-beating for this application.
  • Mortar and pestle is a viable, cost-effective option, but bead-beating may offer better control over cross-contamination.
