For our project, we needed to do a lot of experiments. At first, it was a bit difficult to find some well working methods, but after a while of researching we were finally able to get very good results.
We did two assays [1]
to prove the occurence of pectin; we were able to crack pollen and to clone Escherichia coli.
After cracking the pollen, we were capable to duplicate the DNA of different pollen by doing a PCR [2]
