Abstrakt: The RNA and protein synthesis in pea cotyledons at early imbibition were studied. The results obtained show that RNA and protein synthesis are reactivated at the beginning of imbibition. The initial transcription is independent of protein synthesis, after 8 h synthesis RNA depends on translation by 44 – 52%. α-Amanitin (5μg ml−1) inhibits3H-uridine incorporation by 75%. It indicates the predominance of mRNA synthesis in early transcription.
