It is primarily a protective [...]
The following points highlight the three methods to make specific study of plant tissues. The methods are: 1. Preparation of Surfaces for Whole Mounts 2. Section Cutting 3. Maceration Method. Method # 1. Preparation of Surfaces for Whole Mounts: For the preparation of surfaces of different plant organs such as leaves and stems various techniques are followed. These preparations actually [...]
