The relationship between centrioles, microtubules and cell plate initiation in Chlorella pyrenoidosa.
Cytokinesis in Chlorella pyrenoidosa usually starts at the tetranuclear stage and is preceded by a characteristic arrangement of microtubules in the zone between adjacent nuclei. Initiation of the cell plate occurs in close association with two centriole pairs, each of which is attached to one nucleus. The cell plate subsequently extends along the plane of microtubular orientation towards the cell wall.
