Abstract
Treatment of Trigonella foenumgraeceum (fenugreek) seedlings with
naphthalene acetic acid plus gibberellic acid enhanced the RNA synthesising capacity
of nuclei isolated from the hypocotyl and cotyledonary regions. This increase was
more pronounced in the nuclei from the hypocotyl region than from the cotyledonary
region. In vitro addition of these phytohormones did not stimulate RNA synthesis
by nuclei. The RNA synthesis by mitochondria was not affected by preincubating
the seedlings with the hormones. The nuclei isolated from callus cultures of
fenugreek hypocotyl treated with the hormone also showed increased RNA
synthesis.
