Figure 1.

Mitoses are asynchronous in multinucleated A. gossypii cells. (A) Individual frames from a time-lapse video recording the growth of a strain (HHF1-GFP) with histone-GFP–labeled nuclei. The nuclei indicated by the arrows divide independently from their neighbors. Pictures were acquired every 30 s. (B) Example of a nuclear pedigree demonstrating the capacity for all nuclei to divide. Six starting parent nuclei were followed through subsequent nuclear divisions. Numbers are time in minutes from start of time-lapse acquisition. A total of 11 such pedigrees were performed on independent hyphae. In the pedigree diagram, X is a by-passing event, an upside-down Y is a mitosis, and the arrow denotes the direction of growth. (C) Histogram summarizing variability in nuclear division cycle length from 41 mitoses observed in time-lapse videos of HHF1-GFP strains. (D) Nuclear lineage demonstrating variability in nuclear division cycle length within related nuclei, where the time in minutes represents the time between nuclear divisions.
