Abstract
During pulse incubations of onion roots with RNA precursors, incorporation into meristematic nucleoli is asynchronous for some, but not for all, cells. After a 30-minute labeling period, the "zero-class" is as large as 25 percent, and the asynchrony is intracellular rather than cellular. This suggests an individual specificity of nucleolar function in a population of differentiating cells.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
