- Intervention effect 10-4 M colchicine inhibited phragmoplast formation.
- Intervention effect 10-4 M colchicine produced large spherical cells.
- Intervention effect Griseofulvin produced large irregular cells.
- Intervention effect Caffeine produced large irregular cells.
- Intervention effect 10-5 M colchicine caused incomplete septa and irregular cross walls.
- Intervention effect Caffeine inhibited normal septum formation.
- Intervention effect Caffeine did not induce intricate cross walls.
- Mechanism Loss of phragmoplast microtubules may explain colchicine inhibition of cytokinesis.
- Intervention effect Microtubules remained after 10-5 M colchicine, while phragmoplast vesicles were disordered.
- Intervention effect Microtubules remained after griseofulvin, while phragmoplast vesicles were disordered.
- Mechanism Caffeine appeared to inhibit phragmoplast vesicle fusion.
