Flow cytometry was used to measure cell cycle parameters in Solanum aviculare plant cell suspensions. Methods for bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) labeling of plant nuclei were developed so that cell cycle times and the proportion of cells participating in growth could be determined as a function of culture

β¦ Synopsis
Plant-cultured cells are often highly heterogeneous in secondary metabolite productivity. The industrial application for large-scale metabolite production requires establishment of a stable high-producing cell line. In this study, image analysis of the individual cell is investigated as a method for evaluation of a heterogeneous cell population, and compared with the conventional method of estimation, which is based on averagecell productivity. Among strawberry cells producing anthocyanins, cells with a wide-range of pigment concentration were observed and maximum anthocyanin content was 10 times higher than the average value. In addition, a change of the frequency distribution was revealed in batch cultivation.
