Abstract:
A method is described which allows a clear and quantitative determination of endosperm cells in wheat grains even during the late stages of grain filling. After treatment with pectinase the tissue of the endosperm disintegrates in single cells, in the same step, the starch in the endosperm cells is dissolved. The nuclei of the endosperm cells are stained with hematoxylin, drawn by vacuum on to a millipore filter, and counted in the still recognizable cell structures under a microscope. This advantageous for exact counting of all the endosperm cells.
