CYTOKINESIS OF MULTI-SPINDLE CELLS

HENRY S. ROBERTS 1 and NANCY S. JOHNSON 1

1 Department of Zoology, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina

1. Patterns of cytokinesis have been studied in living multi-spindle cells obtained from beetle testes.

2. Furrows develop between spindle poles, whether or not connected by spindle fibers, and not necessarily in relationship to the equator of a spindle.

3. The further development of furrows is related to the distance apart of spindle poles. If the spindle poles are close together, the furrow soon regresses; if the poles are sufficiently far apart, the furrow advances and may succeed in dividing the cell.

4. When large blebs develop in the furrow area, the furrow regresses.

5. The observations reported are discussed in the light of current theories of cytokinesis.

6. Details of the unusual chromosome distributions which result have not been analyzed in detail.
