Inhibition of cytokinesis in plant cells by 6-dimethylaminopurine and puromycin

  • Published:
Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Binucleate cells are produced in garlic root tip cells with puromycin and with 6-dimethylaminopurine (6-DMAP), the purine component of puromycin. The possibility that the effect of puromycin on cytokinesis is due to 6-DMAP-which appears to be without short term effects on protein synthesis-is discussed.
