Abstract
Growing tobacco pollens on an artifimedium incorporated P32-orthophosphate into RNA fraction isolated by a methylated albumin kieselghur column chromatography. That the incorporation represented the RNA synthesis was confirmed by the finding that all four nucleotides in RNA were labeled by P32. The base composition of the newly synthesized RNA was entirely different from the bulk-RNA in pollens and resembled that of DNA of this plant.Keywords
