Problems of a standardization in plant flow cytometry
Abstract
In this article problems of standardization in flow cytometry researches are discussed. Authors propose some new species of greenhouse plants to use as standards. Data of the relative nuclear DNA content of the species is presented. Nuclear genome sizes have been reported: Ficus benjamina 2С = 1.07 pg, Euryops chrysanthemoides 2С = 2.70 pg, Schefflera octophylla 2С = 4.65 pg, ×Fatshedera lizei 2С = 6.34 pg, Davallia mariesii 2С = 15.37 pg, Zamioculcas zamiifolia 2С = 48.35 pg.Downloads
