Using laser micro-dissection and qRT-PCR to analyze cell type-specific gene expression in Norway spruce phloem

The tangentially oriented polyphenolic parenchyma (PP) and radially organized ray parenchyma in the phloem are central in the defense of conifer stems against insects and pathogens. Laser micro-dissection enables examination of cell-specific defense responses. To examine induced defense responses in...
