Abstract
[Abstract] Starch is a biologically and commercially important carbohydrate that is accumulated in plant storage organs, such as seed endosperm. Starch is water-insoluble and forms transparent grains, referred to as starch grains (SGs). SGs are easily stained by iodine solution and can be observed under a normal microscope. Technovit 7100 resin is suitable for preparation of thin sections from endosperm. The thin sections and iodine staining can visualize SGs clearly inside the endosperm cell. This protocol provides the procedures to prepare thin sections of Technovit 7100 resin from rice endosperm. It can also be applicable to the seeds of other plant species.
