CONT

Polyploidy can be induced with colchicine, an alkaloid of the meadow saffron (Colchicum autumnale) that inhibits mitosis ... It hampers the development of the nuclear spindle. A mitosis that takes place after treatment with colchicin is called a C-mitosis. It enables an easier detection and identification of chromosomes than a normal mitosis does.

CONT

The most noticeable and consistent effect was the induction of c-mitosis through disturbance of the spindle activity, resulting in the formation of polyploid and aneuploid cells, and c-tumours.
