Abstract

Iron is accumulated in Arabidopsis embryos during seed maturation. Where iron localizes in seed and embryo is important information for seed research. Iron detection can be performed in an inexpensive manner using Perls staining, based on the Prussian blue complex formation. After this first step, DAB intensification can be performed in order to visualize easily where iron pools are located in isolated embryos. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
