Microscopic image of Sorghum bicolor

Caption

This award-winning image by Brandon James, Project Manager in the Swaminathan lab at the HudsonAlpha Institute, shows a thin slice of part of a Sorghum bicolor shoot apex. The fluorescent probes show cells in the shoot (nuclei labeled in blue) and the expression of RNA transcripts of a gene called KNAT1 (yellow). This is part of work by CABBI and its partners to better understand different cell types within sorghum stems and enable cell-type-specific engineering for bioenergy and novel bioproducts.
