Abstract: | The nucleotide ratio of several RNA species from cotyledonsof Pharbitis nil subjected to a single 16 hr night with or withouta 15 min light-break, or to continuous light was investigated.RNA species examined were RNAs from nuclear, mitochondrial,microsomal, and supernatant fractions separated by differentialcentrifugation, and s-, r-, and m-RNAs fractionated by methylatedalbumin column chromatography. Of the RNAs examined, m-RNA alone was found to change its nucleotideratio with photoperiod applied. Thus as compared with m-RNAfrom non-induced cotyledons (exposed to continuous light oran interrupted night), m-RNA from cotyledons induced by an uninterruptednight contained significantly reduced guanylic and cytidylicacids on molar ratio basis. A working hypothesis was proposed that floral stimulus productionin cotyledons may be directed by gene DNA derepressed photoperiodically. (Received October 18, 1966; ) |
