RNA Synthesis in Germinating Embryonic Axes of Soybean and Wheat 1
AUTOR(ES)
Huang, Bor-Fuei
RESUMO
The rate of synthesis of RNA during early germination of wheat and soybean embryos was investigated by ascertaining the incorporation of radioactive uridine into RNA. In wheat embryos, where the lag period preceding rapid growth is 5.5 hours, there is a 2-fold increase in RNA synthesis between 1.5 and 5.5 hours, with half of the increase occurring by 3.5 hours. In soybean axes, where the lag period is 9.5 hours, the increased rate of RNA synthesis is 5.5-fold between 1.5 and 9.5 hours, with three fourths of this increase occurring after 4 hours.
