Description
Leah Kago-Gachao and co-authors give a lab protocol for measuring heat-driven cell death in seedlings, in this 2026 paper. The plant is a small weed used widely in research. When cells die, their walls leak salts, and a meter can track that leak over time.
The method adapts a known leak test from infection studies to heat shock, which triggers a death path like one seen in animal cells. Death can be blocked by a drug or by removing genes tied to the path, which lets users test candidate genes. The protocol needs only a conductivity meter and gentle handling. It uses many samples at once and avoids slow microscope work.
