Plant DNA flow cytometry and estimation of nuclear genome size.
BACKGROUND DNA flow cytometry describes the use of flow cytometry for estimation of DNA quantity in cell nuclei. The method involves preparation of aqueous suspensions of intact nuclei whose DNA is stained using a DNA fluorochrome. The nuclei are classified according to their relative fluorescence intensity or DNA content. Because the sample preparation and analysis is convenient and rapid, DNA...
متن کاملStandardisation of instrumentation in plant DNA image cytometry
DNAimage cytometry is a relatively new technique for densitometric measurement of nuclear DNA content, which has only rarely been used in botany and thus no methodological standards exist for this method to be applied to the measurement of plant material. In the present paper we address several problems related to standardisation of DNA image cytometry, such as stability of the measuring system...
متن کاملPlant genome size variation: bloating and purging DNA.
Plant genome size variation is a dynamic process of bloating and purging DNA. While it was thought plants were on a path to obesity through continual DNA bloating, recent research supports that most plants activity purge DNA. Plant genome size research has greatly benefited from the cataloguing of genome size estimates at the Kew Plant DNA C-values Database, and the recent availability of over ...
متن کاملEstimation of fungal geome size: comparison of image cytometry and photometric cytometry
Besides photometric cytometry (PC), fl uorescence microscopy combined with computerised image analysis, i.e. image cytometry (IC), offers an alternative tool for assessing genome size. These techniques allow direct visualization of hyphae and simultaneous measurement of nuclear fl uorescence intensity. We developed a simple method for quantitative evaluation of nuclear DNA in fungi using DAPI-I...
متن کاملDNA measurement and cell cycle analysis by flow cytometry.
Measurement of cellular DNA content and the analysis of the cell cycle can be performed by flow cytometry. Protocols for DNA measurement have been developed including Bivariate cytokeratin/DNA analysis, Bivariate BrdU/DNA analysis, and multiparameter flow cytometry measurement of cellular DNA content. This review summarises the methods for measurement of cellular DNA and analysis of the cell cy...
