Abstract:
Flow cytometry is a powerful technique with numerous applications in
biomedical research, including immunology, haematology, oncology and other
fields. It has also found important applications in plant science where it accompanied
scientists for almost four decades. Without its invaluable outcomes, some
areas of plant research would not be in the position where they are now. This
chapter focuses on exploitation of this state-of-the-art technology for studying
plants at cellular and subcellular level, first providing a general overview and
then focusing on nuclei and nuclear DNA content – by far the most frequent and
most important application of flow cytometry in plant science. We review applications
of the method from the early days to recent advances and discuss its applied
aspects.
