Abstract:Nuclear division in P. monticola is in general similar to mitosis in higher organisms. Synchronous division of the nuclei in the dikaryon progresses with clamp development. Mitosis begins with the movement of the centriolar plaques into and under the forming clamp. The pull of the centriolar plaque on the attached nucleolus forms a long strand of nucleolar material. Chromosomes now appear as dense granules at the end of the nucleus proximal to the clamp. At this time the nucleolus moves adjacent to the centrio… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
