Changes in Ribonucleic Acid Fractions During Maturation of Mimosa Epicotyl Tissues 1

Gregory N Brown a
PMCID: PMC396074  PMID: 5774174

Abstract

Total RNA and DNA of mimosa epicotyl tissues were extracted and the RNA fractionated into specific soluble RNAs (sRNAs) at different times during late germination. Epicotyls collected at each time contained qualitatively comparable meristematic and developing tissues, while mature tissues increased. Quantitative ratios of total RNA to DNA and total sRNAs to approximated ribosomal RNA (rRNA) varied consistently during development. Terminal nucleosides of sRNA did not vary in any consistent pattern through development. On the other hand, regular changes in quantitative ratios of specific sRNA groups were observed during development.
