[Polar distribution of RNA in the cytoplasm of Acetabularia mediterranea].
The distribution of total RNA and its individual fractions in two regions of Acetabularia mediterranea stem during regeneration was investigated. During regeneration of both the nuclear and enucleated cells, RNA concentration increases in the cytoplasm of growth zone whereas it changes insignificantly in the central stem region. A study of the qualitative RNA composition in the same stem regions has shown that during regeneration high molecular weight RNA fractions (main peaks - 0,56-10(6) and 1.04-10(6) Dalton) are found in the growth zone and are practically absent from the central cell region. Low molecular weight RNA (supposedly, tRNA and products of RNA destruction) are present in both the cell regions under study.
