“…In multinucleate cells, nuclear division may occur synchronously, asynchronously, or in a wave spreading from one part of the cell to another (for a general discussion, see Agrell, 1964 ;Grell, 1964 ;Erickson, 1964) . Cytokinesis may or may not be associated with nuclear division (Grell, 1964 ;Jbnsson, 1962 ;Kornmann, 1965Kornmann, , 1966Schussnig, 1931Schussnig, , 1954Lewis, 1909) . In the multinucleate green alga Acrosiphonia, an unusual pattern of nuclear and cell divison occurs (Jbnsson, 1962 ;Kornmann, 1965) : some of the nuclei of each multinucleate cell gather to form a band of nuclei located in the region where cytokinesis will later occur .…”
