Flow Cytometry with Plant Cells: Analysis of Genes, Chromosomes and Genomes

Jaroslav Dolezel is the Head of the Czech Institute of Experimental Botany in Olomouc, and Associate Professor at the Palacky University in Olomouc. He has pioneered the use of flow cytometry in plant science for the analysis of nuclear genome size and regularly holds international training courses on the subject.

Johann Greilhuber is Associate Professor at the Institute of Botany at the University of Vienna. He has studied plant genomes for almost 30 years and is an expert on intraspecific variation of genome size. He has constantly been developing novel techniques to study plant genomes, among them many methods based on flow cytometry.

Jan Suda heads the laboratory of flow and image cytometry at the Czech Academy of Sciences' Institute of Botany. He is a taxonomist specializing in plant biosystematics, including genome size determination and has co-authored a book on taxonomy analysis.
