New technique expands plant cells for better microscopic imaging

The way we study plant cells is expanding—literally—thanks to new research from Kevin Cox, an assistant professor of biology in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis and an assistant member of the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center. In a new study published in The Plant Journal, Cox and his team describe how they have developed ExPOSE (Expansion Microscopy in Plant Protoplast Systems), a technique that brings expansion microscopy to plants. The way we study plant cells is expanding—literally—thanks to new research from Kevin Cox, an assistant professor of biology in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis and an assistant member of the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center.
