Summary Sirofluor, a chemically defined fluorochrome from aniline blue in aqueous unbuffered solutions, complexes with isolated (1 → 3)-β-glucans, but not (1 → 4)-β-glucans, after embedding in JB-4 resin and sectioning. Under these conditions, callose deposits in plant tissues give a brilliant yellow fluorescence with essentially no background fluorescence.
