Abstract

The plant cell wall comprises various types of macromolecules whose abundance and spatial distribution change dynamically and are crucial for plant architecture. High-resolution live cell imaging of plant cell wall components is, therefore, a powerful tool for plant cell biology and plant developmental biology. To acquire suitable data, the experimental setup for staining and imaging of non-fixed samples must be straightforward and avoid creating stress-induced artifacts. We present a detailed sample preparation and live image acquisition protocol for fluorescence visualization of cell wall components using commercially available probes and stains.
