How is the Megaspore Mother Cell Studied in Histology?
Histological studies of the MMC involve preparing thin sections of ovules and staining them to visualize the cells under a microscope. Techniques like paraffin embedding and microtomy are commonly used. Stains such as hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) or specific cytochemical stains help differentiate the MMC and other ovular tissues.
