| colchicine |
(L. colchicum, meadow saffron, from colchis, ancient Mingrelia). An alkaloid obtained from Colchicum autumnale, autumn crocus or meadow saffron, which inhibits spindle formation in cells during mitosis, so that chromosomes cannot separate during anaphase, thus inducing multiple sets of chromosomes. Also used to halt mitosis at metaphase - the stage when chromosomes are most visible.
