TEM techniques are well-suited to the acquisition of images of limited regions under high magnification but not of wide areas such as plant tissues and large cells. To capture such digital images, we developed an auto-acquisition TEM system. We successfully acquired gigapixel-class high-resolution TEM images, which were merged using an image-tiling program [1]. To take gigapixel-class TEM pictures of Arabidopsis, the roots were fixed using a high-pressure freezing method. We then acquired several thousand overlapping TEM micrographs using the auto-acquisition TEM system and merged them [2]. The images thus obtained included transverse and/or radial longitudinal sections of root tips. Using these gigapixel TEM images, we found ER body-like spindle-shaped structures budding from ER in the root tip. To determine the distribution and the role of these structures, they were marked on gigapixel TEM images of the sections of root tips and counted. The structures distributed in the root cap, especially the lateral root cap (LRC). Immunocytochemical analysis for the LRC cells showed that signals were detected in ER bodies and vacuoles, which were fused in places. Arabidopsis has three KDEL-tailed proteases, AtCEP1-3. These enzymes are expressed in tissues and cells during programmed cell death [3]. Immunofluorescence assay showed that AtCEP2 was localized in the ER bodies of LRC cells. These results indicate that ER bodies in the LRC cells are involved in mass transport of KDEL-tailed proteases such as AtCEP2 to the vacuoles.[1] K Toyooka et al, Plant Cell Physiol 55 (2014) 1544-1555.[2] K Toyooka et al, Plant Morphology 26 (2014) 3-8.[3] G Hierl et al, Plant Mol.
