The Marker Concept in Cell Fractionation

  • Chapter
Cell Components

Part of the book series: Modern Methods of Plant Analysis ((MOLMETHPLANT,volume 1))

Abstract

The intent of this chapter is to provide a practical foundation for anyone interested in performing subcellular fractionation of plant tissue. It is not its purpose to discuss the validity of various markers, since this topic has recently been thoroughly reviewed (Quail 1979). Specific marker assay procedures are given in other chapters of this book and are also available elsewhere (Hall and Moore 1983). Catalogs of “commonly accepted” markers have been published (Bowles et al. 1979; Quail 1979) and should be referred to by the reader.
