Introduction

The Laboratory of Flow cytometry was established in September 2000 as a part of the Experimental Research Centre, Institute of Botany, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. Our mission is to use cytometric techniques for biosystematic studies of vascular plants in the widest sense. Our research is primarily targeted on taxonomy and ecology of polyploid groups, population cytotype structure, and genome size estimation. Joint application of flow cytometry and other modern techniques (multivariate morphometrics, molecular biology, etc.) is emphasised.
