PROTEIN SYNTHESIS DURING FUNGAL SPORE GERMINATION: EVIDENCE THAT THE UNGERMINATED CONIDIOSPORES OF BOTRYODIPLODIA THEOBROMAE CONTAIN A MESSENGER RIBONUCLEIC ACID
Abstract
In the life cycles of many diverse categories of plants, animals, and microorganisms, there exists a period of dormancy or latency, often characterized by quiescent metabolic functions and by the presence of morphologically and biochemically specialized cells which are capable of being activated for rapid growth and development. A currently important topic in developmental biology is a search for an understanding of the general metabolic regulatory mechanisms through which an organism's latent stage is activated. Since the activation step must cause an eventual resumption of the flow of genetic information from deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to enzyme protein, a specific aspect of the general study is a search for the controls of rapid transcriptional and translational functions that are characteristic of activation and subsequent growth. A reciprocal question is whether the transcriptional or the translational apparatus is somehow involved in regulation of dormancy and activation.
