Effect of plant-origin compounds on changes in the cytoplasmic skeleton in meristematic cells
Journal Title: European Journal of Medical Technologies - Year 2016, Vol 12, Issue 3
Abstract
The cell cycle is fundamental for the function of cells. It is defined as a series of events occurring in a eukaryotic cell and leading to its division. The events can be divided into several phases. The cell cycle is a vital process that is inextricably linked with cell divisions. Many factors have a direct effect on the course of the cell cycle as well as divisions of genetic material and cellular structures. Factors that exert an inhibitory effect on cell divisions and induce cell death comprise antimitotic compounds, i.e. cytostatics. The paper presents the results of an experiment conducted to determine the effect of the Rhiodiola extract on the cytoskeleton during mitotic divisions in meristematic cells. A correlation between the presence of the cytostatic compound and inhibition of cell divisions was shown.
