title: Gibberellin and nucleic acid metabolism during Zea mays fertilization.
abstract: Either by direct GA supply or by release of glycosidic bound GA, pollination causes partial opening of double-stranded DNA in somatic maize kernel tissues, as evidenced by increased Tm profiles. This phenomenon is associated with enhanced RNA and prtein production.
