The researchers analyzed the AMACR gene's abnormal expression patterns using a sophisticated laser-capture microdissection technique to identify the key biological events that lead to colon cancer progression.

Potential colon cancer biomarker identified

They describe model embryonic systems ranging from maize and spruce to Arabidopsis, offer mechanisms from in vitro fertilization with isolated higher plant gametes to the culturing of Arambidosis and barley, laser-capture microdissection techniques, promoter trapping systems, visualization of auxin gradients, intercellular tracking of macromolecules, immunolocalization of proteins in somatic embryos, and detection of programmed cell death in plant embryos.

Plant embryogenesis

Extensive expertise, laser-capture microdissection, and multiple microarray platforms are available.
