Morphogenesis (Cytochemistry)

  • Chapter
Cell and Tissue Culture in Forestry

Part of the book series: Forestry Sciences ((FOSC,volume 24-26))

Abstract

Histochemica1 staining of cells and tissues is one of the major techniques currently applied to a range of problems in basic and applied biological research. A few decades ago application of staining techniques was limited to morphological studies, but in recent years the histochemical approach has become a common component of investigations in the fields of physiology and biochemistry. The principles and procedures of histo- or cytochemistry are essentially similar to those used in biochemistry, except that, in cytochemistry the colored end-product is precipitated within the cells. Thus, with tissues containing a variety of cell types, biochemical functions of a single cell type can be studied with the cells in a normal structural and presumably functional relationship with the other cell populations (39).
