A model is proposed in which stimulation of cortical cytoplasm occurs near the distal ends of astral rays. Levels of stimulation sufficient to cause furrowing occur only in equatorial zones between asters. The model can account for positioning of furrows in very large cells (fertilized eggs of amphibians, birds, and fish) and in cells with several mitotic apparatuses (insects). Finally, the model correctly predicts the positioning and occurrence of furrowing in two experiments in which cellular shape was manipulated into either an hourglass or a cylindrical form before division. These results are consistent with equatorial stimulation theories in which mitotic asters differentially stimulate the future furrow region (equatorial cortex). The results are not consistent with models requiring differential stimulation of nonfurrowing, polar regions of the cell.
提出了一个模型,其中皮质细胞质的刺激发生在星体射线的远端附近。足以引起沟裂的刺激水平仅发生在星体之间的赤道区域。该模型可以解释非常大的细胞(两栖动物、鸟类和鱼类的受精卵)以及具有多个有丝分裂器的细胞(昆虫)中沟的定位。最后,该模型正确地预测了在两个实验中沟裂的定位和发生情况,在这两个实验中,细胞形状在分裂前被操纵成沙漏形或圆柱形。这些结果与赤道刺激理论一致,在该理论中,有丝分裂星体差异地刺激未来的沟裂区域(赤道皮质)。这些结果与需要对细胞的非沟裂极区进行差异刺激的模型不一致。
