RESUMO
Incorporation of 32P into nucleic acids in barley plants infected with bromegrass mosaic virus (BMV) was analyzed by chromatography on methylated albumin kieselguhr (MAK) columns. Treatment with actinomycin D reduced the synthesis of ribosomal ribonucleic acid (RNA) to low levels and allowed the detection of the three components of BMV-RNA in vivo. The kinetic study on 32P incorporation into these BMV-RNA components suggested that a single cleavage occurred in some of the intact RNA shortly after completion of its synthesis, giving rise to the small and medium components. Chromatographic analyses also revealed a double-stranded, ribonuclease-resistant RNA which has been purified by differential extraction, sucrose-density gradient centrifugation, and MAK column chromatography. This RNA sediments at approximately 14S, is alkali-labile, and has a sharp thermal transition with a Tm of 96 C in 0.1 × standard saline citrate buffer, as determined by susceptibility to ribonuclease. The RNA is absent in uninfected barley plants.
