“…This technique was first described in mouse epithelium (Quastler and Sherman, 1959) and was the standard method of cell cycle analysis for nearly three decades (Van’t Hof, 1974; Grif et al , 2002; Francis et al , 2008, and references therein). Other methods that have been used to estimate S-phase duration in plants include double labeling (Wimber and Quastler, 1963), cell synchronization (Nagata et al , 1992; Lee et al , 1996; Cools et al , 2010), measurement of cell doubling time (Richard et al , 2001; Menges et al , 2006), kinematic analysis (Dhondt et al , 2010), and analysis of 5-ethynl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) labeling kinetics (Hayashi et al , 2013; Hu et al , 2015). …”
