A novel approach for the detection of replication sites in plant cells nuclei is described. Included nucleotide (EdU) was detected using "click"-chemistry in semithin sections of the material embedded in acrylic resin. The usage of the protocol introduced allows: (1) to safe the intact morphology of cells, (2) to work with any tissue, and (3) to obtain high-resolution during microscopy (especially, axial).

Key words:  nuclei, chromatin, replication, replication sites, EdU, semithin sections
