Sodium cacodylate as antimitotic agent
Keyword(s):
The effect of pure sodium cacodylate on dividing cells was studied. The root meristematic cells of <em>Allium cepa</em> L. (the roots were squashed in acetoorcein) and endosperm cells of <em>Haemanthus katherinae</em> Bak. (<em>in vitro</em> observations) were used. Serious disturbances in karyokinesis and cytokinesis were found that led most often to the formation of polyploid or multinucleate (<em>A. cepa</em>) cells. These results point to damage of the mitotic spindle and phragmoplast. Careful use of cacodylate buffer in ultrastructural studies of microtubules is advised.
