Some implications of polarized cytokinesis
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1) Short range interactions at the cell periphery may play an important role in guiding cell plate development and positioning from early stages of cell plate formation. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2) Progressive cortical fusion may provide mechanical stability for the developing cell plate in vacuolate cells. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3) There may be no global checkpoints for the final events of cytokinesis - fusion of the cell plate with the cell periphery is a continous process over the course of cell plate development. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4) Some wall stubs observed in drug treated cells and in cytokinetic mutants may be the simple result of normal polar cytokinesis aborted at an early stage. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
