Abstract

The effects of abscisic acid and kinetin on RNA synthesis in senescing radish leaf disks were investigated using the improved resolution afforded by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Kinetin stimulated and abscisic acid inhibited incorporation of radioactivity into cytoplasmic ribosomal RNA and soluble RNA. Chloroplast ribosomal RNA synthesis appeared to be confined to the period of leaf expansion and was not detected in fully mature leaves. The effects of kinetin in retarding and of abscisic acid in accelerating leaf senescence were not altered by the inhibition of cytoplasmic ribosomal RNA synthesis with 5-fluorouracil. Following inhibition of cytoplasmic ribosomal RNA synthesis with 5-fluorouracil, kinetin stimulated and abscisic acid inhibited incorporation of radioactivity into polydisperse RNA. These results are discussed in relation to the possible mode of action of kinetin and abscisic acid in senescing leaf tissue.
