The relative contributions of cell polarity and nuclear position in specifying the plane of asymmetric division in fucoid zygotes were investigated. In zygotes developing normally, telophase nuclei were positioned parallel to the polar growth axis, and the division plane bisected both axes. To assess division plane specification, the colinearity of the nuclear and growth axes was uncoupled by treatment with pharmacological agents. Spatial correlations between the growth axis, telophase nuclei...
