926-930There was a linear increase in poly (A+)
polymerase activity in the C. arietinum epicotyls during germination.
Six-day-old auxin treated seedlings showed about 3-4 fold stimulation in enzyme
activity, accompanied with 3-fold rise in the relative abundance of poly (A+)
RNA levels. Actinomycin D, cycloheximide, cordycepin and amino acid analogues
caused dramatic decline in poly (A+) polymerase as well as poly (A+)
RNA levels. It seems that auxin induced a de novo synthesis of this enzyme
