Abstract
Cells of the myeloid and erythroid series of mouse bone marrow are characterized by a well-defined diurnal rhythm of mitotic activity and of DNA synthesis, with coincidence between the times of maxima of the number of mitoses and of DNA-synthesizing cells (in the afternoon and night) and of their minima (in the morning and evening). The increase in mitotic activity is connected with the entry of large numbers of cells into mitosis and not with an increase in the duration of mitosis.
