Abstract
The fungal toxin fusicoccin (FC) was found to induce substantial increases in the abundance of specific translatable RNAs over several hours, concomitantly with tissue expansion, in segments of etiolated pea internodes. The FC-induced RNAs encoded some relatively basic polypeptides of MWs 27-5-29-2 kDa, and some relatively acidic polypeptides of MWs 12-5-15-5 kDa. The earliest detectable increases in the FC-induced translation products occurred after 1-5-2-5 h. Auxin treatment caused a different overall pattern of changes in translation product spots, though some induced spots appeared to be common to both treatments. The possible significance of these observations is discussed in relation to other factors known to alter gene expression in plant tissues.
