Where conditions for plant growth are less stressful, plants can evolve life history traits that fall along a continuum from competitors to ruderals.

MKLP1 is inhibited by 14-3-3 to ensures that the spindle midzone microtubules do not compact until the end of anaphase

#XL - T Zoology

During anaphase, when cyclin B-CDK1 activity is extinguished but Aurora and Polo kinases are still active, Aurora B phosphorylates MKLP1 and displaces the 14-3-3, allowing compact the spindle midzone.

At the same time, Plk1 phosphorylates the Rho-GAP component, to form an active Centralspindlin-Ect2 complex.
