Abstract

Indoleacetic acid, gibberellic acid or kinetin stimulate the synthesis and release of nuclear RNA. The presence of the nuclei is essential for the growth substance-induced promotion of RNA synthesis. The induced stimulation is abolished by actinomycin D but can be restored partially or completely by relatively higher concentrations of the growth substances.
