Effects of GA3 on RNA Biosynthesis in Germinating Maize Seeds
초록
In order to investigate the effects of GA3 on RNA biosynthesis, the amounts of rRNA and tRNA in germinating maize seeds were measured. The amount of rRNA in the endospermless seedlings was remarkably increased by GA3 tretment after 48 h of germination, but no effect was observed after 12 h of germination. While the amout of rRNA in 0.5 cm shoots in length was decreased by GA3 treatment, both of the amounts of rRNA and tRNA were increased in 1~1.5 cm shoots. According to the above mentioned results, it may be suggested that RNA biosynthesis is affected by GA3 treatment, and that GA3 participates in the biosynthesis of rRNA rather than tRNA in germinating maize seeds.
