How Do You Prepare Plant Samples from Amended Soils for Histological Examination?

To prepare plant samples from amended soils for histological examination, follow these steps:
1. Harvesting: Carefully remove the plant from the soil to avoid damaging the tissues.
2. Cleaning: Rinse the plant roots and tissues gently to remove soil particles.
3. Fixation: Use a fixative like formalin to preserve the tissue structure.
4. Embedding and Sectioning: Embed the tissue in paraffin wax and section it using a microtome for microscopic examination.
