Mature ncdHL.ncd.T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus;ncd1 oocytes show multi-polar or multiple small meiosis I spindles.
The spindle and centrosomes appear normal throughout early cleavage divisions in ncdHL.ncd.T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus;ncd1 embryos, but abnormal mitotic spindles are frequently observed in embryogenesis, with abnormalities increasing in frequency in later divisions. Abnormalities include spindle spurs or branches resulting from mis-segregating chromosomes detaching from the spindle or moving off the metaphase plate, bent anaphase spindles, and poorly formed midzones in telophase. Free centrosomes are seen in some embryos, where a failure of spindle formation or centrosome loss from the spindle pole has occurred.
ncdHL.ncd.T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus;ncd1 mitotic spindles are 1-2μm longer than control spindles in pro-metaphase and metaphase. This difference in length is increased to 3-4μum in anaphase and telophase.
