New publication about the isolation of peroxisomes from the model plant Arabidopsis

20 April 2017, by Sigrun Reumann

Peroxisomes are vitally important cell organelles with numerous tasks. However, they are quite small and fragile and thus difficult to isolate in high purity. The method of peroxisome isolation from Arabidopsis leaves for high-sensitivity analyses was developed by the Reumann research group (Reumann et al., 2007, The Plant Cell). Piotr Lisik and Sigrun Reumann wrote a new chapter entitled “Isolation of Arabidopsis Leaf Peroxisomes and the Peroxisomal Membrane“ in order to provide detailed  hints on the isolation method and to enable other research groups to use the methodology in their research projects. (Reumann and Lisik, 2017, 1511, 97-112).
