The Study of In Vitro Development in Plants: General Approaches and Photography

Careful examination of how explants react to experimental conditions is the first step of a successful research program. Photographing the specimen is an extremely important method that can be used to document changes of an explant throughout an experiment. This article serves to draw attention to the utility of macroscopic and microscopic examinations in the study of in vitro development, and details some useful methods in the study of the cultured explants.
