AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This new technology allows researchers to study plants without damaging them during their preparation process by creating tiny sections from frostbaked samples or other materials like roots. These small areas are very easy to see because they have no visible signs on top when observed under microscope. They also maintain this shape even after being dried up due to water evaporation. Overall, these technical improvements make studying crops more accessible and cost-effective compared to previous methods such as cutting out parts off at different locations.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical solution described by this patents relates to improving ice core technologies during various experiments involving studying plants' physiologically active components or proteins. However, current techniques have limitations making them less effective than desired because they require specialized equipment like freezing section tools. Therefore, new ways were needed to develop better solutions without requiring extensive laboratory resources.

Abstract

Relating to methods able to conduct fast histochemistry and other analyses in plant tissues, the invention specifically relates to an embedding medium and a direct frozen section method. The embedding medium is composed of polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, carboxymethylcellulose sodium, glycerol, formaldehyde, collagen, plant gel, and deionized water. According to the frozen section method, a plant material is not fixed, and a sample subjected to histochemical staining and other treatments or a fresh tissue is wrapped on a sample table directly to perform frozen section. The method solves the problem that in the microscopic observation of phytohistochemistry, immunolocalization, in-situ hybridization and other studies, a target chemical substance is easy to dissolve in a fixation agent, and is impossible to be fixed first and then sectioned, or the target chemical substance dissolves in an alcohol substance and is impossible to be dehydrated by ethanol.
