摘要: The multinucleated plasmodia ofPhysarum polycephalum, a myxomycete, have been extensively used in cell cycle studies. natural synchrony of mitosis and DNA synthesis, easy culture methods, the ready fusions obtainable between plasmodia, amenability to phase specific studies, employing physical chemical perturbers, are some attractive features this organism. Because absence Gl there is crowding marker events at G2/M boundary, which reflect both Gl/S boundaries typical eukaryotic cell. Prominent among these synthesis overall activity thymidine kinase, co-triggering tubulin histone genes, translation their mRNA, organization duplication microtubular organizing centres mitotic spindle triggering cdc 2 kinase activity. These above not only served as good markers monitor progress plasmodial cycle, but also fairly thoroughly analysed by means perturbers such inhibitors, antimicrotubular drugs, UV-irradiation, heat-shock etc. Along with fusion perturbation studies helpful formulation various models on regulation mitosis. aspects well prospects for future organism discussed
