Meiotic behavior and diploidy in Schinus terebinthifolia (Anacardiaceae)
Rodriguésia, 2021 Abstract The genus Schinus (Anacardiaceae) comprises 30 species found in Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina and Brazil. Schinus terebinthifolia (Brazilian pepper tree) is socioeconomically important in the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo. Dried fruit is used as a pepper-like spice and natural populations are exploited.

TRIP13PCH-2 promotes Mad2 localization to unattached kinetochores in the spindle checkpoint response. [PDF]
, 2015 The spindle checkpoint acts during cell division to prevent aneuploidy, a hallmark of cancer. During checkpoint activation, Mad1 recruits Mad2 to kinetochores to generate a signal that delays anaphase onset.
