title: Caution in the interpretation of plant ribosome studies.
abstract: Published methods of ribosome isolation from plant tissues result in a partial and selective recovery of the total ribosome population. The enrichment of polyribosomes obtained may give a false impression of the change in translational capacity of the tissue under study.
