I need to get over to the university to get a full copy of AVI paper which would likely have their method detailed or referenced. Without a student parking pass you have to park about a half mile from the library which always make this a much longer chore then it need to be.


You could maybe call and have them mail you a copy.
We certainly would be better prepared with a copy of the paper.

I'll need to wait until tomorrow to look at albicans under the scope. They will be blooming here another three weeks.
Neither do I have a camera ready.

Should we expect to find AVIs in all members of the iris family if they are in any one of them? Or? Has me wonderin' if the pale gray blue tint in albicans bud comes perhaps from the AVIs.

EXCERT: We have termed these structures Anthocyanic Vacuolar Inclusions or AVIs. They are non-membrane bound aggregations of highly pigmented material found ! in the vacuoles of the petal epidermis. The presence of these structures results in intensification in colour and a significant shift in the absorbance spectra of anthocyanins in these cells.

Plan here for now is to moisten the slide with enough water to hold the specimen in place if it is not moist enough to stay in place without doing so.

I hit a snag here. I could not find my blank slides.
Fine helper I am. Huh?
