Foldscope based methods to detect in-tissue antioxidant activity and secondary metabolites in pollen and stomata of Lantana camara
Journal Title: Research and Reviews in Biotechnology and Biosciences - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Foldscope is the ultra-affordable, paper microscope designed to be extremely portable, durable, and to give optical quality similar to conventional research microscopes. However it’s potential as in tool in the area of agricultural sciences is still not known. In this study, how foldscope can be used as an efficient tool to detect in –tissue activities of antioxidants and secondary metabolites in invasive alien plant Lantana camara.Foldcsope images revealed viable stained areas in the respective seeds, indicating live activities. Based on data the use of foldscope was recommended.
