Extracting Pollen
Opening Pollen
To form a trypsin solution, we resuspended 20µg of trypsin in 200µl of H20. We then split the solution into 4 eppis with 50µl each, having approximately 5µg of trypsin within every eppi. According to our proportionality-calculations we then added pollen to the trypsin and incubated at 37°C overnight. The following day we analysed our samples with light microscopy, enlarging by 100 and 400.
To use ribolyser tubes we added 10, 20 and 50 mg of pollen combined with 400 µl of water into the tubes. In the next step we shook the tubes in the ribolyser and centrifugated at 110 rpm for 10 minutes. Result were two different layers, one brighter than the other. On the top layer was white shroud. After abstracting the light-brown, lower, layer with a chemical dropper, 400µl lysebuffer were added and the solution was centrifugated for 1 minute with 11000 rpm. Afterwards, we used the machery nagel plant Nucleo spin III Kit for the DNA extraction.
Lastly, we tried to open the pollen with liquid nitrogen. Therefore, we put pollen in a small bowl and added liquid nitrogen. We then cracked the pollen using mortar and pestle and checked the results of all approaches with the light microscopy.
