Value 0.08 Unitless Range: ±0.013 0.076 - 0.089 Unitless
Organism Fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe
Reference Neumann FR, Nurse P. Nuclear size control in fission yeast. J Cell Biol. 2007 Nov 19 179(4):593-600 p.593 right column bottom paragraphPubMed ID17998401
Method p.593 right column bottom paragraph: "[Investigators] measured nuclear and cellular volumes in individual cells of the fission yeast S. pombe using a nuclear membrane marker Cut11-GFP and Nomarski optics (West et al., 1998)."
Comments "In vegetatively growing wild-type cells, the ratio of nuclear to cell volume (N/C ratio) was found to be 0.080 ± 0.013 (Fig. 1, A and B), in agreement with measurements from electron microscopic tomography (Höög et al., 2007)." p.594 left column:"Despite a 35-fold difference in average cell size, the N/C ratio was remarkably constant, varying only between 0.076±0.013 and 0.089±0.017 (Fig. 1, A–C)."
