Ice-Cap. A High-Throughput Method for Capturing Plant Tissue Samples for Genotype Analysis1

From: Plant Physiology | Date: July 1, 2004| Author: Krysan, Patrick | Copyright information

High-throughput genotype screening is rapidly becoming a standard research tool in the post-genomic era. A major bottleneck currently exists, however, that limits the utility of this approach in the plant sciences. The rate-limiting step in current high-throughput pipelines is that tissue samples from living plants must be collected manually, one plant at a time. In this article I describe a novel method for harvesting tissue samples from living seedlings that eliminates this bottleneck. The ...

Crop Science ; CORN ROOTWORM is the most destructive insect pest of corn in the USA. When last assessed in 1995, CRW was responsible for the largest expenditure by growers for insect management in corn production systems (Pike, 1995). CRW larvae inflict damage to corn plants by feeding on the root tissues, which
