Immunocytochemistry (ICC) is a common laboratory technique that is used to anatomically visualize the localization of a specific protein or antigen in cells by use of a specific primary antibody that binds to it.
Okra is mature in about 55-60 days. They can quickly become tough, so harvest frequently from the plant when the pods reach 3-5â long, depending on the variety. Use sharp garden shears and cut the pods away from the plant; about Â¼â or so below the okra pod base. Do not try to pull the pods off as most times you could damage the plant branch.
A cold snap in early spring can kill okra blossoms. Whether adding okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) to your garden for its edible pods or simply its ornamental value, you must protect the delicate plant from cold temperatures. Okra is an annual plant that thrives during the warm spring and summer season and grows 3 to 6 feet tall. Pick pods while they are immature at 2 to 3 inches long. Okra plants will present a prolific harvest through the first frost in the fall.
