[Histonet] sectioning plant seeds

From:"Perry, Margaret"



We have been asked to section plant seeds that resemble oats.  We have
tried to run them thru formalin and processed the same as our regular
animal tissue.  Then we embedded in wax.  We cannot get a good section.
Has anyone worked with plant seeds?  How do you fix and process them.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I believe they want to do ISH on
the slides.  

Thanks.
