Abstract Histochemical staining of sectioned seed for the identification of various intracellular compounds has successfully been used in the past. The estimation of storage compound content through the quantification of a specific compound selecting stain through digital image analysis using Adobe® Photoshop® has however not been explored to date and therefore, became the main aim of this study. Moringa oleifera seeds of various developmental stages were prepared for microscopic analysis and stained with oil (Sudan III), protein (Light Green SF, Orange G) and starch (Periodic Acid Schiff) detecting stains. The percentage coverage of a specific stain in digital images of sectioned seed was determined using Adobe® Photoshop® and compared to analytical data. Protein stain: Orange G and oil detecting stain: Sudan III demonstrated the best correlation to the measured seed protein and oil content throughout seed development. For simple comparisons between storage compound contents at different developmental stages, image stain quantification proved reasonably effective. Keywords: Adobe® Photoshop®, histochemical staining, Sudan III, Light Green SF, Orange G, Periodic Acid Schiff INTRODUCTION The use of histochemical staining of biological material for the identification of various compounds has successfully been used for nearly two centuries (Wick, 2012). Although such stains are best suited for qualitative images analyses, they offer very little quantitative data to perform accurate scientific comparisons. Commercial photo-editing software has in the past been used for the quantification of histological samples, predominantly in the medical field of histopathology (Dahab et al., 2004; Lahm et al., 2004), although its application in plant sciences has been limited to date. The main aim of this study was thus to determine whether commercial photo-editing software such as Adobe® Photoshop® could be used to quantify the amount of stain in seed sections through colour selection within a slide. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seed for the purpose of this trial were harvested from six-year-old Moringa oleifera trees at the field trial section on the Experimental Farm of the University of Pretoria (25°45’S; 28°16’E) at an altitude of 1372 m a.s.l. and an average annual rainfall of 674 mm. Trees for the purpose of this trial were grown from ‘PKM1’ cultivar seeds, sourced in India and transplanted into the field. Moringa oleifera is becoming increasingly popular as an industrial crop due to its multitude of uses such as water purifier, nutritional supplement and biofuel feedstock (Fuglie, 2001; Anwar et al., 2007; Rashid et al., 2008). The trees bear 20 to 30 cm long fruit that once mature, change colour from green to brown, revealing numerous round or triangular seeds with three papery wings (Folkard et al., 1999). Seed developmental stages were based on fruit width, grouped into 2 mm intervals starting at 8 mm (8, 10, 12, 24 mm) up to 24 mm in diameter. Light microscopy Due to continuous flower initiation and development, fruit of different developmental

stages could be found on the trees throughout the growing season. Ten seeds of at least nine developmental stages were randomly sampled from all three irrigation treatments and prepared for light microscopy according to O’Brien and McCully (1981). After harvesting, seeds were immediately fixed in FAA (80% ethanol:37% formaldehyde:100% acetic acid, in proportions 8:1:1 v/v/v) for at least 24 h, before being dehydrated in an ethanol in water solution series (30, 50, 70, 100% v/v) for 24 h at each concentration. Then, ethanol was extracted from the specimens through a series of xylene in ethanol concentrations (30, 50, 70, 100% v/v) prior to placing them into paraffin wax (60°C). Embedded seed samples were cut into 10 μm thick sections, using a Reichert-Jung semi-thin rotary microtome, and placed onto microscope slides before being de-waxed in a series of xylene concentrations. The histochemical staining of seed sections differed depending on the compound that was stained for; hence they are discussed individually below. Protein Intracellular protein was detected by staining seed sections in duplicate using two different protein stains namely, Light Green SF (Figure 1A) and Orange G (Figure 1B) according to James and Tas (1984). The same staining procedure was followed for both these stains. After de-waxing, sections were stained in either Orange G or Light Green SF for 30 min, followed by three rinses of 1% acetic acid and two rinses of distilled water. Sections were then briefly rinsed in three changes of tert-butanol, followed by two changes in xylene, before being mounted with synthetic resin. Protein stained bright green with the Light Green SF and bright orange with Orange G.

Starch Starch reserves were detected using Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) (Figure 1C) reagent according to Merck (2011). De-waxed sections were rinsed in distilled water and placed into Sodium periodate solution for 5 min each. After rinsing sections in distilled water, they were stained with PAS reagent for 15 min and rinsed with sulfite water (6 min), followed by distilled water (10 min). Sulfite water was prepared by adding a mixture of 10 mL sodium disulfite solution (10%) and 10 mL of hydrochloric acid (1 mol L-1) to 200 mL of distilled water. Finally, sections were stained with hemtoxylin solution (2 min) and rinsed with distilled water (3 min) before being mounted. Starch (polysaccharides) stained purplemagenta with PAS.

Oil Seed used for the lipid staining could not be embedded using the conventional procedure used for light microscopy as discussed above, given that seed lipids are xylene soluble. Alternatively, under such circumstances fresh seed specimens would merely be sectioned by hand. With this method, section thickness would have become inconsistent and this would in turn have affected staining, making different samples incomparable. Moringa seed posed an additional challenge in that they are relatively hard once mature and difficult to section uniformly thin. For this reason, the following customized method was developed for Moringa oleifera seed in order to perform lipid staining. Seed samples were fixed in FAA (80% ethanol:37% formaldehyde:100% acetic acid, in proportions 8:1:1 v/v/v) for 7-14 days, followed by 24-48 h in distilled water to remove excess fixative prior to sectioning. Samples were then thinly sectioned using a freeze-microtome and transferred onto microscopy slides prior to staining. Preliminary trials found Sudan III (Sudan red) (Figure 1D) to be the best lipid stain for Moringa oleifera seed, when compared to Sudan IV and Sudan black B. Hence Sudan III was used for all subsequent intracellular lipid staining according to Culling (1974). Sections were submerged in propylene glycol (2 min) and then transferred into Sudan III solution (10 min). Then, excess Sudan III was removed by rinsing sections in two changes of 85 and 50% propylene glycol. Lipids stained red/orange with Sudan III. Image analysis Once stained, seed sections were viewed using a Leitz Biomed light microscope, while photographs were taken using a Canon PowerShot A630 digital camera. Digital images of the sectioned seed stained with Orange G, Light Green SF, Sudan III and PAS were analysed using Adobe® Photoshop® CS6, Version 13.0 x32. Digital images were individually uploaded into Adobe® Photoshop® and the colour (RGB ratio) set to the specific stain in question (Figure 2). The RGB ratios for the different stains used during analysis are given in Table 1.

Subsequently, the “Color Range” command was selected under the “Select” drop-down menu. To ensure the selection was not limited to the set colour but included additional shades around the set colour, the “fuzziness” was set to 100. This meant that all pixels within 100 brightness levels (both lighter and darker) from then set colour (RGB ratio) were included in the selection. The selection area remained visible in the set colour range, while the unselected areas appeared black in the main window (Figure 3). Once all pixels within the set colour range were selected, the pixel count was displayed under the Histogram section (Figure 4). The percentage coverage of a certain colour within an image was calculated using the equation below. %

Figure 5. Moringa oleifera seed sections stained with Orange G before (A) and after (B) selective extraction using Adobe® Photoshop® CS6. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Stained seed sections offer very little tangible data as they can essentially only be used for visual comparisons. Quantification of these sections enabled differences between developmental stages to be statistically assessed. The percentage coverage of the oil, protein and starch detecting stains in digital images of sectioned seed was determined using Adobe® Photoshop®, results of which are illustrated in Figure 6.

Figure 6. Average stain coverage (%) of seed sections from various developmental stages, stained with starch, oil and protein detecting stains. PAS – Periodic Acid-Schiff. Vertical bars (±) indicate standard errors. Results obtained from the quantification of stained seed sections were very similar to the storage compound content (g 100 g-1) measured in seeds across the various developmental stages (Muhl et al., 2014). Despite only slight differences between storage compounds (oil, protein and starch) during the initial growth stages, significant increases across all compounds were measured during the early reserve deposition phase, between 387

the fruit diameters of 16 to 18 mm. While both starch (PAS) and protein (Green SF and Orange G) continued to increase significantly beyond these growth stages, differences in oil (Sudan III) levels on the other hand, levelled off after seed reached a diameter of 18 mm, with only slight increases until maturity. CONCLUSIONS Since stained seed sections viewed under the microscope offer no tangible data for comparison, the quantification of these sections using digital imaging software enabled seed samples from different developmental stages to be compared. The estimation of a storage compound content (g) based on the relative stain intensity was not equally effective for all stains. Orange G (protein stain) and Sudan III (oil stain) demonstrated a better correlation between the percentage stain coverage and the actual compound content (g) when compared to Periodic Acids Schiff reagent (starch stain). Nonetheless, stain quantification was used successfully to determine the onset of storage compound biosynthesis and the differentiation between storage compound amounts at different developmental stages. Although the success of digital image analysis might be stain dependant, it certainly is a cost effective technique for compound content estimation.
