To study the developmental processes of ascospores in Gibberella zeae, a procedure for collection under sterile conditions is filmed in order to generate the highest level of information for protocol description. This should facilitate the reproducibility of the experiment, a crucial aspect when full genome expression profile tests are implemented.

Protein extraction for proteomic analyses in fungal species requires high levels of standardization to be accomplished according with the minimum information about a proteomic experiment (MIAPE) guidelines. We present a video-protocol that includes a procedure for minimizing experimental bias during toxin induction and protein extraction from Fusarium spp.

Scavengers have potential to translocate infectious transmissible spongiform encephalopathy prions in their feces to disease-free areas. We detail methods used to determine if mouse-adapted scrapie prions remain infectious after passage though the digestive tract of American crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos), a common consumer of dead animals.

Utero-tubal Embryo Transfer and Vasectomy in the Mouse Model
Pablo Bermejo-Alvarez 1,2, Ki-Eun Park 1,2, Bhanu P. Telugu 1,2

Utero-tubal embryo transfer uses the utero-tubal junction as a barrier to prevent the embryo outflow that may occur when performing uterine transfer. Vasectomized males are required to obtain pseudopregnant recipients for embryo transfer. Both techniques are discussed.

Visualizing Stromule Frequency with Fluorescence Microscopy
Jacob O. Brunkard 1, Anne M. Runkel 2, Patricia Zambryski 2
1Plant Gene Expression Center, Agricultural Research Service, USDA, 2Department of Plant and Microbial Biology, University of California, Berkeley

Protocols to investigate the dynamics of chloroplast stromules, the stroma-filled tubules that extend from the surface of chloroplasts, are described.

Efficient Generation and Editing of Feeder-free IPSCs from Human Pancreatic Cells Using the CRISPR-Cas9 System
Anjali Nandal 1,2, Barbara Mallon 3, Bhanu P. Telugu 1,2,4
1Department of Animal and Avian Sciences, University of Maryland, 2Animal Bioscience and Biotechnology Laboratory, ARS, USDA, 3NIH Stem Cell Unit, Bethesda, National Institutes of Health, 4RenOVAte Biosciences Inc

This protocol describes in detail the generation of footprint-free induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from human pancreatic cells in feeder-free conditions, followed by editing using CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoproteins and characterization of the modified single-cell clones.

Increasing the detection of immature tephritid fruit flies in the field can trigger timely efforts to eliminate populations of these destructive pests. Detecting late instar larvae is faster and more accurate when mushing host fruit in a bag and passing the pulp through a series of sieves than hand cutting and visual inspection.
