From: Cell type-specific characterization of nuclear DNA contents within complex tissues and organs
Flow cytometric analysis of the nuclear DNA contents of plant root homogenates. Homogenates, prepared as described by Galbraith et al. [5], stained with DAPI, were analyzed using a Partec CCAII Flow Cytometer (Partec GmbH, Munster, Germany). The instrument PMT and amplification settings were adjusted between samples to provide distributions conveniently distributed across the abscissae. This means that the numerical positions of the nuclear peaks should not be used for comparative analysis of DNA content between species. (A) Arabidopsis thaliana. (B) Pisum sativum. (C) Cucumis sativus. (D) Daucus carota. (E) Nicotiana tabacum. (F) Lycopersicon esculentum. (G) Petunia hybrida. (H) Vinca rosea. (I) Zea mays. (J) Oryza sativa.
