Abstract
Nucleic acid and protein biosyntheses were characteristic of the [Coturnix coturnix japonica] fertilized germinal disc and continued during storage at 20.degree. C though at a reduced rate. There was no comparable activity in unfertilized eggs. Warming the fertilized eggs for 30 min/day during storage increased the rate of incorporation of uridine and leucine into proteins and nucleic acids by a factor of 3.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
