juliazheku.bsky.social @juliazheku.bsky.social · 18/02/2026(1/5) I am very excited to share my simultaneous triple staining method for monocot roots. This method is not only faster but also utilizes a smaller volume of stain than traditional methods and minimizes mechanical tissue damage. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 26921
