Book Description
Many studies in both plant and animal systems have shown that Matrix Attachment Regions (MARs) can increase expression of transgenes in whole organisms or cells in culture. MARs are AT-rich sequences of DNA that bind in vitro to the proteinacous filament-like structure within the nucleus called the nuclear matrix. In our investigation of transgenic Nicotiana tabacum NT-1 cells in culture, we have observed that transgene expression is often variegated. In other words, some cells in an isogenic population do not express the transgene, and/or other cells within the same population express the transgene at varying levels. The question was raised: Do MARs increase transgene expression by altering variegation? More specifically, do MARs increase the percentage of cells expressing the transgene, increase the magnitude of expression in expressing cells, or both? In order to address these questions, it was necessary to quantitate transgene expression variegation at the resolution of individual cells. We chose to measure Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) expression in individual tobacco NT-1 cells by flow cytometry. In order to analyze individual cells and because NT-1 cells in culture grow as filaments, it is necessary to prepare protoplasts that can pass one at a time through the flow cell of the flow cytometer. We found that current flow cytometry methods for measuring GFP expression in plants were susceptible to debris resulting from protoplast preparations. We observed that when the plasma membrane of protoplasts is breached, GFP diffuses out into the medium, and flow cytometric measurements of these non-viable protoplasts imply they do not express GFP. This debris can overestimate the proportion of non-expressing cells in the population. In order to correct this problem, we used an approach called a dye exclusion test. Because propidium iodide enters protoplasts to stain nuclei only when the plasma membrane is breached, debris that stains with this dye can be removed from.

Book Description
Flow cytometry is a sensitive and quantitative platform for the measurement of particle fluorescence. In flow cytometry, the particles in a sample flow in single file through a focused laser beam at rates of hundreds to thousands of particles per second. During the time each particle is in the laser beam, on the order of ten microseconds, one or more fluorescent dyes associated with that particle are excited. The fluorescence emitted from each particle is collected through a microscope objective, spectrally filtered, and detected with photomultiplier tubes. Flow cytometry is uniquely capable of the precise and quantitative molecular analysis of genomic sequence information, interactions between purified biomolecules and cellular function. Combined with automated sample handling for increased sample throughput, these features make flow cytometry a versatile platform with applications at many stages of drug discovery. Traditionally, the particles studied are cells, especially blood cells; flow cytometry is used extensively in immunology. This volume shows how flow cytometry is integrated into modern biotechnology, dealing with issues of throughput, content, sensitivity, and high throughput informatics with applications in genomics, proteomics and protein-protein interactions, drug discovery, vaccine development, plant and reproductive biology, pharmacology and toxicology, cell-cell interactions and protein engineering.

Book Description
"Flow Cytometry - Recent Perspectives" is a compendium of comprehensive reviews and original scientific papers. The contents illustrate the constantly evolving application of flow cytometry to a multitude of scientific fields and technologies as well as its broad use as demonstrated by the international composition of the contributing author group. The book focuses on the utilization of the technology in basic sciences and covers such diverse areas as marine and plant biology, microbiology, immunology, and biotechnology. It is hoped that it will give novices a valuable introduction to the field, but will also provide experienced flow cytometrists with novel insights and a better understanding of the subject.

Book Description
The aim of this volume is to merge classical concepts of plant cell biology with the recent findings of molecular studies and real-world applications in a form attractive not only to specialists in the realm of fundamental research, but also to breeders and plant producers. Four sections deal with the control of development, the control of stress tolerance, the control of metabolic activity, and novel additions to the toolbox of modern plant cell biology in an exemplary and comprehensive manner and are targeted at a broad professional community. It serves as a clear example that a sustainable solution to the problems of food security must be firmly rooted in modern, continuously self re-evaluating cell-biological research. No green biotech without green cell biology. As advances in modern medicine is based on extensive knowledge of animal molecular cell biology, we need to understand the hidden laws of plant cells in order to handle crops, vegetables and forest trees. We need to exploit, not only empirically, their astounding developmental, physiological and metabolic plasticity, which allows plants to cope with environmental challenges and to restore flexible, but robust self-organisation.

Book Description
The production of doubled haploids has become a necessary tool in advanced plant breeding institutes and commercial companies for breeding many crop species. However, the development of new, more efficient and cheaper large scale production protocols has meant that doubled haploids are also recently being applied in less advanced breeding programmes. This Manual was prepared to stimulate the wider use of this technology for speeding and opening up new breeding possibilities for many crops including some woody tree species. Since the construction of genetic maps using molecular markers requires the development of segregating doubled haploid populations in numerous crop species, we hope that this Manual will also help molecular biologists in establishing such mapping populations. For many years, both the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have supported and coordinated research that focuses on development of more efficient doubled haploid production methods and their applications in breeding of new varieties and basic research through their Plant Breeding and Genetics Section of the Joint F AO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture. The first F AO/IAEA scientific network (Coordinated Research Programme - CRP) dealing with doubled haploids was initiated by the Plant Breeding and Genetics Section in 1986.
