The XXIV International Congress of ISAC is starting already in the following 17th of May and I look forward for the event. I will make a daily report of the congress, accompanied by some documenting pictures. So keep tuned...For your appetizing I will leave you with the advertising that will be made of one of the highlights in what concerns plant flow cytometry - the Workshop "Plant Genome Structure and Gene Expression". I hope that all the people in the picture are heading to the Budapest Sportsarena for the workshop. We do not mind the sporty clothes!
Dear ISAC Congress Attendee:
This workshop is aimed not simply at scientists interested in employing flow and image cytometry for the manipulation of plant cells, tissues, organs, and organelles. It also will provide valuable information for Operators and Core Managers having no prior experience with plant samples, who increasingly will encounter plant scientists interested in using their technologies and instruments in their plant-based research.
Topics to be presented and discussed will include:
- Preparation and storage of samples for DNA flow cytometry.
- Combating the negative effect of cytosol on nuclear DNA staining.
- Standardization for reliable estimation of nuclear genome size.
- Chromosome isolation and sorting.
- Analysis of gene expression, including flow analysis and sorting of organelles and large cells.
There will also be opportunities provided for questions, comments, etc., from the audience.
