Analyses
- observation of plant tissues under light microscopes
- cytological analysis
- cytogenetic analysis
- chromosome counting
- analysis of mitotic chromosomes
- analysis of meiotic chromosomes
- observation of pollen grains
- assessment of pollen viability
- evaluation of reproductive structures
- anatomical observation of root, stem, leaf, flower, fruit and seed
- detection of cell abnormalities
- assessment of tissue responses to biotic and abiotic stress
- observation of structural traits related to resistance, tolerance, adaptation, fertility and development
- characterisation of cytological effects in mutant lines
- supporting mutation breeding through cytological and cytogenetic evaluation
- assessment of genetic stability through observations at chromosome and cell level
- microscopic characterisation of seed, seed coat, tissues, fibres, starch grains, phytoliths, pollen and other plant micro-remains
- analysis of archaeological and historical plant remains, including phytoliths, starch grains, charred plant particles, pollen, seed fragments and other preserved plant structures where the material is suitable for microscopic examination
- supporting research on plant reproduction, genetic stability, mutation breeding, biodiversity, domestication, crop evolution and plant adaptation
