| Abstract: | Abstract In recent years, Laser Microdissection (LM), which has been widely used in animal biology, has been adapted to plant tissues. This short paper focuses on some technical aspects concerning plant sample preparation for LM technology, with particular attention to the application of gene expression and proteomics studies. Examples derived from the use of different LM methods are reported and their applications to plant–microbe interactions are explored. |
