Template requirement of maize RNA polymerase.
Maize RNA polymerase utilizes heated deoxyribonucleic acid more effectively than native deoxyribonucleic acid as a template for ribonucleic acid synthesis. A ribonucleic acid-deoxyribonucleic acid hybrid accumulates in the presence of heated deoxyribonucleic acid. The amount of product formed with either native or heat-denatured deoxyribonucleic acid does not exceed the amount of deoxyribonucleic acid added as template.
