Abstract

The ER is a highly dynamic network of tubules and membrane cisternae. Hence, imaging this organelle in its native and mobile state is of great importance. Here we describe methods of labelling the native plant ER using fluorescent proteins and lipid dyes as well as methods for immunolabelling on plant tissue.

Keywords: Endoplasmic reticulum; Fluorescent dyes; Fluorescent protein; Immunofluorescence; Labelling; Stable; Transient expression.
