Water and Mineral Acquisition

Specialized tissues in plant roots have evolved to capture water, minerals, and some ions from the soil. Roots exhibit a variety of branching patterns that facilitate this process. The outermost root cells have specialized structures called root hairs that increase the root surface, thus increasing soil contact. Water can passively cross into roots, as the concentration of water in the soil is higher than that of the root tissue. Minerals, in contrast, are actively transported into root cells.

Resonance Fluorescence of an InGaAs Quantum Dot in a Planar Cavity Using Orthogonal Excitation and Detection

Resonant excitation of a single self-assembled quantum dot can be achieved using an excitation mode orthogonal to the fluorescence collection mode. We demonstrate a method using the waveguide and Fabry-Perot modes of a planar microcavity surrounding the quantum dots. The method allows complete freedom in the detection...

Polymerase Chain Reaction and Dot-Blot Hybridization for Leptospira Detection in Water Samples

In this study, a dot-blot application was designed to detect Leptospira from the three main clades in water samples. This method allows for the identification of minimal DNA quantities specifically targeted by a digoxigenin-labeled probe, easily detected by an anti-digoxigenin antibody. This approach is a valuable and satisfactory tool for screening...

Detection of Inflammasome Activation via Fluorescence Microscopy

This video demonstrates a method to detect NLRP3 inflammasome activation in macrophages using fluorescent reporter probes. The cells are treated with potassium ionophores and glycine to induce inflammasome assembly and caspase-1 activation. Fluorescent reporter probes visualize activated caspase-1, and cells are stained with a fluorescent dye for nuclei...
