Abstract: Targeted at beginners as well as experienced users, this handy reference explains various applications and benefits of flow cytometry (FCM) in plant sciences. Following a general introduction and authentic account on the development of flow cytometry, the book goes on to discuss the applications in plant genetics, genomics, physiology, pathology and breeding. The use of FCM in plant biosystematics and population biology is described as well as the analysis of phytoplankton. Where appropriate the methodology is explained and potential sources of errors highlighted. The first database on plant DNA flow cytometry (FLOWer) is also introduced. With its broad scope encompassing environmental, cellular and sub-cellular levels, a list of general reading and a glossary of terms, this first comprehensive reference on plant FCM fills a real gap by providing first-hand practical hints for the growing community of plant scientists.
