Cutting thin sections of plant tissues enables observation of internal structures and inner cell layers, and it facilitates various histochemical staining methods. Paraffin embedding gives the tissues a uniform stiffness that is sufficient for sectioning with a microtome. Here, we describe the procedures for preparation of paraffin-embedded tissues and the techniques for sectioning with a microtome. This method is applicable to various types of tissues, including rice shoot apex and immature inflorescence.
