Abstract: | The effect of various concentrations of Altosid and actinomycin D under defined conditions on housefly metamorphosis was investigated with three strains of houseflies. The morphogenetic response varied with the strains and the length of time which the larvae were exposed to the juvenile hormone analogue. De novo RNA synthesis was studied with (2-14C)-glycine. Methods were developed for the isolation of nuclear, soluble, and ribosomal RNA. The procedure presented provides a DEAE-cellulose chromatographic method for the removal of high molecular weight RNA from DEAE at a neutral pH. Labelling of the RNAs was increased in the presence of the juvenile hormone analogue indicating an increase in the rate of RNA synthesis. The higher incorporation of the labelled precursor into nuclear RNA demonstrates that cytoplasmic RNA is derived from the nuclei. |
