Laser-Capture Microdissection, a Tool for the Global Analysis of Gene Expression in Specific Plant Cell Types: Identification of Genes Expressed Differentially in Epidermal Cells or Vascular Tissues of Maize(W)

Laser-capture microdissection (LCM) allows for the one-step procurement of large homogeneous populations of cells from tissue sections. In mammals, LCM has been used to conduct cDNA microarray and proteomics studies on specific cell types. However, LCM has not been applied to plant cells, most likely because plant cell walls make it difficult to separate target cells ...
