Abstract

We’ve all done the basic plant labs where students look at flowers, seeds, and fruits. But how often have you actually shown students the “neat things” that are more hidden from view–the things they hear about but rarely see? In this workshop we show you how to prepare simple setups to view pollen tube germination, to see endosperm and early embryos of dicots, and to make preparations of mitosis in broad beans.

Keywords:  botany, embryo, chromosome, pollen tube
