Flow cytometric DNA analysis was used to study changes in nuclear DNA content induced by the addition of complete or telosomic rye chromosomes into the genome of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The DNA content of each addition line was determined by comparison with an internal reference value a

β¦ Synopsis
The nuclear DNA content of the 7 wheat-rye chromosome addition lines were determined by flow cytometry. The nuclear DNA content of each line was compared to the original wheat parental line. From this information, the amount of DNA per rye chromosome was calculated. The DNA per chromosome ranged from 0.8 picograms (pg) in chromosome 3R to 1.4 pg in chromosome 7R. Flow cytometry was proven to be a rapid and re-liable technique for the evaluation of aneuploid plant populations. Flow cytometry has the potential to allow for more rapid screening of aneuploid and euploid cytological stocks than conventional cytogenetic techniques.

Background. This study was designed to evaluate the importance of DNA stem line heterogeneity in determining the malignant potential of esophageal cancer. Methods. Flow cytometric analysis of intratumor heterogeneity of DNA contents was performed on step-sectioned slices of 57 resected esophageal c
