Spindle length differences in four other organisms
| Organism | Length | Length Difference |
|---|---|---|
| S. cerevisiae (Winey et al., 1995) | L1 0.7 ± 0.1 (n = 4) | L2 − L1 = 0.7 |
| L2 1.4 ± 0.1 (n = 6) | ||
| F. capucina (Tippit et al., 1978) | L1 1.3 ± 0.1 (n = 2) | L2 − L1 = 1.3 |
| L2 2.6 ± 0.1 (n = 25) | ||
| Slime mold (Moens, 1976) | L1 2.1 ± 0.1 (n = 3) | L2 − L1 = 2.8 |
| L2 4.9 ± 0.3 (n = 6) | ||
| Rat kangaroo (PtK1 cells; Armstrong and Snyder, 1989) | L1 13.2 (n = 5) | L2 − L1 = 4.2 |
| L2 17.4 (n = 5) | ||
| Rat kangaroo (PtK1 cells; Snyder et al., 1986) | L1 12.2 (n ≥ 6) | L2 − L1 = 4.2 |
| L2 16.4 (n ≥ 6) |
Data presented as means ± se, which were calculated based on the cited publications for spindles with similar lengths, or as mean only according to the publications. (n = no. of spindles examined). In the case of S. cerevisiae, values of the extra-long spindles at late stages of cell division (telophase/cytokinesis) were not included here.
