Leaves and Seeds as Materials for Flow Cytometric Estimation of the Genome Size of 11 Rosaceae Woody Species Containing DNA-Staining Inhibitors

Table 3

Effect of antioxidants on flow cytometric estimation of 2C DNA content in seeds of selected species belonging to the Rosaceae family.

Species name	2C DNA (pg, mean ± SD)
	Buffer without antioxidants	Buffer with antioxidants*
Amelanchier stolonifera	2.56±0.01^ns	2.55±0.01
Cotoneaster divaricatus	2.74±0.01^ns	2.73±0.01
Crataegus coccinea	3.18±0.02^ns	3.17±0.01
Malus floribunda	1.45±0.01^ns	1.44±0.00
Prunus padus	1.15±0.01^ns	1.15±0.01

∗For a certain species the buffer as stated in Table 2 was applied; ns: no significant difference between the values in lines (Student’s t-test, 𝑃=.05).
