1887 C. O. Whitman in Jrnl. Morphol. 1 228 The former [sc. active changes] may be conveniently divided into two classes, one of which I shall designate cytokinetic, in distinction from the other, which is now generally called, after Schleicher's example, karyokinetic.

1893 Proc. Amer. Philos. Soc. 31 196 The origin of the motion of the Amœba is to be sought in its own plasma; it is therefore cytokinetic.

1922 Amer. Jrnl. Bot. 9 301 Throughout the study of Nelumbo lutea it was found that the karyokinetic stages in the reduction divisions seemed to be relatively few, whereas the cytokinetic and interkinetic stages were quite prevalent.

1941 Trans. Amer. Microsc. Soc. 60 105 Colchicine in addition to interfering with normal cytokinetic processes may actually affect the form and structure of chromosomes.

1975 Bot. Rev. 41 124 The term phycoplast should be retained..for all transverse cytokinetic tubules in the green algae.

2007 M. S. Otegui & J. R. Austin in J. R. McIntosh Cellular Electron Microsc. ix. 222 There is a close relationship between the cytoskeletal elements and the membrane components of the cytokinetic machinery.
