botany - What's a good reference for choosing histological staining chemicals?

It's often difficult to find the appropriate or best stain to use when I want to examine a new type of tissue. I think that's partly because many histological techniques were developed a long time ago, so the papers don't turn up in Google Scholar. Is there a standard reference which links tissues, cell types or states and their corresponding best stain?



I'm mostly interested in a reference text or website covering plant histology, but general references are welcome too.
