Graft incompatibility is often due to failed vascular connection in the graft junction. Necrosis in the junction is a common symptom of a failed vascular junction.
This work focuses on quantifying the degree of necrosis inside the junction of incompatible grafts with DAB staining and Instron tensile force machines.
Skills:
- Grafting, plant care
- DAB staining
- Tensile biophysical analysis
- Antibody staining
