Further studies on the incorporation of [32P] phosphate into nucleic acids of normal and boron-deficient tissue

Abstract

The previously observed increased incorporation of labelled phosphate into the nucleic acids of boron-deficient bean radicles has been shown to affect soluble RNA, DNA and particularly ribosomal RNA. The results cannot be accounted for in terms of changes in the specific activity of 5′- phosphate in the total acid-soluble nucleotide pool of the tissue. © 1967.
