Abstract excerpt

In Paramecium the development of cell shape and surface pattern during division depends on a precise spatial and temporal pattern of duplication of the ciliary basal bodies which are the organizers of the cortical cytoskeleton. According to their localization, basal bodies will duplicate once, mo...
