Estimating percentage constitutive heterochromatin by flow cytometry.

Experimental cell research - 1 Jan 1992

Rayburn A L, Auger J A, McMurphy L M

Abstract excerpt

Flow cytometry is a powerful method for the assessment of both plant and animal genomes. One of the most interesting aspects is the analysis of chromatin structure. By using intercalating and base pair-specific fluorochromes, the chromatin structure in various cell cultures and microorganisms has been determined. In this study, several maize lines of known heterochromatic composition were analyzed. The nuclei of...
