  text: Rigorous investigation of synaptic transmission requires analysis of unitary
    synaptic events by simultaneous recording from presynaptic terminals and postsynaptic
    target neurons. However, this has been achieved at only a limited number of model
    synapses, including the squid giant synapse and the mammalian calyx of Held. Cortical
    presynaptic terminals have been largely inaccessible to direct presynaptic recording,
    due to their small size. Here, we describe a protocol for improved subcellular
    patch-clamp recording in rat and mouse brain slices, with the synapse in a largely
    intact environment. Slice preparation takes ~2 h, recording ~3 h and post hoc
    morphological analysis 2 d. Single presynaptic hippocampal mossy fiber terminals
    are stimulated minimally invasively in the bouton-attached configuration, in which
    the cytoplasmic content remains unperturbed, or in the whole-bouton configuration,
    in which the cytoplasmic composition can be precisely controlled. Paired pre–postsynaptic
    recordings can be integrated with biocytin labeling and morphological analysis,
    allowing correlative investigation of synapse structure and function. Paired recordings
    can be obtained from mossy fiber terminals in slices from both rats and mice,
    implying applicability to genetically modified synapses. Paired recordings can
    also be performed together with axon tract stimulation or optogenetic activation,
    allowing comparison of unitary and compound synaptic events in the same target
    cell. Finally, paired recordings can be combined with spontaneous event analysis,
    permitting collection of miniature events generated at a single identified synapse.
    In conclusion, the subcellular patch-clamp techniques detailed here should facilitate
    analysis of biophysics, plasticity and circuit function of cortical synapses in
    the mammalian central nervous system.

  text: Rigorous analysis of synaptic transmission in the central nervous system requires
    access to presynaptic terminals. However, cortical terminals have been largely
    inaccessible to presynaptic patch-clamp recording, due to their small size. Using
    improved patch-clamp techniques in brain slices, we recorded from mossy fiber
    terminals in the CA3 region of the hippocampus, which have a diameter of 2-5 microm.
    The major steps of improvement were the enhanced visibility provided by high-numerical
    aperture objectives and infrared illumination, the development of vibratomes with
    minimal vertical blade vibrations and the use of sucrose-based solutions for storage
    and cutting. Based on these improvements, we describe a protocol that allows us
    to routinely record from hippocampal mossy fiber boutons. Presynaptic recordings
    can be obtained in slices from both rats and mice. Presynaptic recordings can
    be also obtained in slices from transgenic mice in which terminals are labeled
    with enhanced green fluorescent protein.

  text: High throughput microarray transcription analyses provide us with the expression
    profiles for large amounts of plant genes. However, their tissue and cellular
    resolution is limited. Thus, for detailed functional analysis, it is still necessary
    to examine the expression pattern of selected candidate genes at a cellular level.
    Here, we present an in situ mRNA hybridization method that is routinely used for
    the analysis of plant gene expression patterns. The protocol is optimized for
    whole mount mRNA localizations in Arabidopsis seedling tissues including embryos,
    roots, hypocotyls and young primary leaves. It can also be used for comparable
    tissues in other species. Part of the protocol can also be automated and performed
    by a liquid handling robot. Here we present a detailed protocol, recommended controls
    and troubleshooting, along with examples of several applications. The total time
    to carry out the entire procedure is ∼7 d, depending on the tissue used.

  text: 'As the field of plant molecular biology is swiftly advancing, a need has
    been created for methods that allow rapid and reliable in situ localization of
    proteins in plant cells. Here we describe a whole-mount ''immunolocalization''
    technique for various plant tissues, including roots, hypocotyls, cotyledons,
    young primary leaves and embryos of Arabidopsis thaliana and other species. The
    detailed protocol, recommended controls and troubleshooting are presented, along
    with examples of applications. The protocol consists of five main procedures:
    tissue fixation, tissue permeation, blocking, primary and secondary antibody incubation.
    Notably, the first procedure (tissue fixation) includes several steps (4-12) that
    are absolutely necessary for protein localization in hypocotyls, cotyledons and
    young primary leaves but should be omitted for other tissues. The protocol is
    usually done in 3 days, but could also be completed in 2 days.'

  text: 'There is a growing demand for methods that allow rapid and reliable in situ
    localization of proteins in plant cells. The immunocytochemistry protocol presented
    here can be used routinely to observe protein localization patterns in tissue
    sections of various plant species. This protocol is especially suitable for plant
    species with more-complex tissue architecture (such as maize, Zea mays), which
    makes it difficult to use an easier whole-mount procedure for protein localization.
    To facilitate the antibody-antigen reaction, it is necessary to include a wax-embedding
    and tissue-sectioning step. The protocol consists of the following procedures:
    chemical fixation of tissue, dehydration, wax embedding, sectioning, dewaxing,
    rehydration, blocking and antibody incubation. The detailed protocol, recommended
    controls and troubleshooting are presented here, along with examples of applications.'

  text: Plant biology is currently confronted with an overflow of expression profile
    data provided by high-throughput microarray transcription analyses. However, the
    tissue and cellular resolution of these techniques is limited. Thus, it is still
    necessary to examine the expression pattern of selected candidate genes at a cellular
    level. Here we present an in situ mRNA hybridization method that is routinely
    used in the analysis of gene expression patterns. The protocol is optimized for
    mRNA localizations in sectioned tissue of Arabidopsis seedlings including embryos,
    roots, hypocotyls, young primary leaves and flowers. The detailed protocol, recommended
    controls and troubleshooting are presented along with examples of application.
    The total time for the process is 10 days.
