• Precocious cleavage furrows simultaneously move and ingress when kinetochore microtubules are depolymerized in Mesostoma ehrenbergii spermatocytes. 

  Forer, Arthur; Fegaras, Eleni (Springer Link, 2018-03)

  A “precocious” cleavage furrow develops and ingresses during early prometaphase in Mesostoma ehrenbergii spermatocytes (Forer and Pickett-Heaps, 2010). In response to chromosome movements which regularly occur during ...

• Chromosomes selectively detach at one pole and quickly move towards the opposite pole when kinetochore microtubules are depolymerized in Mesostoma ehrenbergii spermatocytes. 

  Forer, Arthur; Fegaras, Eleni (Springer Link, 2018-02)

  In a typical cell division chromosomes align at the metaphase plate before anaphase commences. This is not the case in Mesostoma spermatocytes. Throughout prometaphase the three bivalents persistently oscillate ...

• Tethers: elastic connections between separating partner chromosomes in anaphase 

  Forer, Arthur; Paliulis, Leocadia (Springer Link, 2018-05)

  Recent work has demonstrated the existence of elastic connections, or tethers, between the telomeres of separating partner chromosomes in anaphase. These tethers oppose the poleward spindle forces ...

• Movement of chromosomes with severed kinetochore microtubules 

  Forer, Arthur; Johansen, Kristen M.; Johansen, Jørgen (Springer Link, 2015-01)

  Experiments from as early as 1966 and thereafter showed that anaphase chromosomes continued to move poleward after their kinetochore microtubules were severed by ultraviolet microbeam irradiation; these conclusions were ...

• Distance segregation of sex chromosomes in crane-fly spermatocytes studied using laser microbeam irradiations. 

  Berns, Michael; Ferraro-Gideon, Jessica; Forer, Arthur (Springer Link, 2013-10)

  Univalent sex chromosomes in crane-fly spermatocytes have kinetochore spindle fibres to each spindle pole (amphitelic orientation) from metaphase throughout anaphase. The univalents segregate in anaphase only after the ...
