The effects of various inhibitors of protein and nucleic acid synthesis on the development of invertase activity and increased nucleolar volume in discs excised from tubers of artichoke tissue are compared. The results are discussed with reference to the current theories relevant to the action of th

✦ Synopsis
The formation of both peroxidase and phenol oxidase was induced by culturing slices of Jerusalem artichoke tubers. Actinomycin D inhibited the formation of enzymes only when added before the termination of the lag phase (10 h after slicing). The data suggest that 4 to 6 h after slicing, tissues produce a mRNA which does not become fully operative until a translation mechanism has been activated.

A series of tetrazolium salts were found to accept electrons more readily from succinate than malate even though the rate of oxygen uptake was similar with both substrates. This difference was explained by showing that all the tetrazolium salts tested caused a reduction in electron flow between NAD+
## Abstract Electron microscopic examinations revealed drastic effects of actinomycin D on nucleolar formation in isolated cells of __Xenopus laevis__ embryos. The nucleoli in newly isolated cells of early gastrulae were composed solely of a fibrous component. After culture for two to five hours in
The effect of actinomycin on gametangium and mitosporangium production in Allomyces arbuscula and A. macrogynus has been investigated. Male gametangium production was not more sensitive to actinomycin than female development. Actinomycin at 20 gg/ml added at the commencement of induction was complet
