Abstract
Using the inhibitor of RNA synthesis, 4,5'',8-trimethylpsoralen plus near UV light, the half-life of the rate-limiting RNA species required for the induction of nitrate reductase in XD cells of tobacco was estimated to be 4 h. Amino acids, the end product of nitrate assimilation, reduced the half-life to 1 h. Amino acids may exert a posttranscriptional control on the enzyme level.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
