Abstract: In germinating pea seeds the synthesis of heterogeneous RNA with sedimentation coefficients ranging from approximately 10S to 40S takes place first and it is followed by the synthesis of 4-5S RNA and rRNA. This rapidly labeled heterogeneous RNA is synthesized mainly in nuclei and low in GC content, so that it differs from pea rRNA. The labeled RNA species which sedimented faster than heavy-rRNA was fractionated into two components on MAK-columns. The synthesis of the AU-type RNA was partially prevented by treatment with actinomycin D.
