Flow Cytometry With Plant Cells Analysis of Genes, Chromosomes and Genomes

Targeted at both beginners and experienced users, this handy reference explains various applications and benefits of flow cytometry (FCM) in plant sciences. Following a general introduction and authentic account of the development of flow cytometry, this book goes on to discuss the applications in plant genetics, genomics, physiology, pathology and breeding. It describes the use of FCM in plant biosystematics and population biology as well as the analysis of phytoplankton. Whenever appropriate, the methodology is explained and potential sources of errors are highlighted, while the first database on plant DNA flow cytometry (FLOWer) is also introduced. With its broad scope encompassing environmental, cellular and sub-cellular levels, this first comprehensive work on the topic fills a real gap in the literature by providing first-hand practical hints for plant scientists.Dolezel, Jaroslav is the author of 'Flow Cytometry With Plant Cells Analysis of Genes, Chromosomes and Genomes', published 2007 under ISBN 9783527314874 and ISBN 3527314873.
