Abstract
Cell suspension cultures of soybean were synchronized by accumulation of cells at the G1/S boundary with 5-fluorodeoxyuridine. Upon removal of fluorodeoxyuridine and addition of thymidine, viable cells resume growth and enter mitosis with increased synchrony. Protoplasts were isolated from cells at varying times following release from inhibition and assayed for uptake of 3H-pBR322 plasmid DNA. Uptake into DNase-resistant, trichloroacetic acid —insoluble form was 2.5 to 4.5-fold higher in S phase than in G1 or G2 phase protoplasts. Endogenous soybean deoxyribonuclease activities did not vary over the cell cycle.
