Planteome: Term Details for "meiotic actomyosin contractile ring" (GO:0110086)

Accession: GO:0110086
Name: meiotic actomyosin contractile ring
Ontology: cellular_component
Synonyms: None
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: A cytoskeletal structure composed of actin filaments, myosin, and myosin-associated proteins that forms beneath the plasma membrane of many cells, including animal cells and yeast cells, in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the meiotic spindle, i.e. the cell division plane. Ring contraction is associated with centripetal growth of the membrane that divides the cytoplasm of the two future daughter cells. In animal cells, the meiotic contractile ring is located inside the plasma membrane at the location of the cleavage furrow. In fungal cells, the meiotic contractile ring forms beneath the plasma membrane of the prospore envelope in preparation for completing cytokinesis. Source: GOC:vw, PMID:22526418
