doi:10.13560/j.cnki.biotech.bull.1985.2021-0167

Abstract

Abstract:

Correlative light and electron microscopy（CLEM）combines the high sensitivity and wide view of light microscopy with the excellent spatial resolution of the electron microscopy,and it overcomes the limitations of their respective imaging,enabling to obtain more comprehensive and fine positioning and structural information in situ,thus widespread attention has been paid to it in recent years. As a powerful attractive technique,CLEM has been widely used in the observation of subcellular structures and specific structures,precise localization of proteins,and the study of vesicle transport and plant immunity. Here,we summarize the concept and principle of CLEM and sum up the probes used in CLEM. Then we discuss the application of CLEM in the field of botany and point out the existing issues. Finally,we propose some aspects for the future development and application of CLEM.

Key words: CLEM probe, structural observation, protein localization, vesicle transport, plant immunity
