✦ Synopsis

Remarkable advances have been made in the identification of the promoter regions for the ribosomal RNA genes from lower and higher eukaryotes. There has been some progress in the elucidation of the factors that control transcription of the ribosomal RNA gene. The characterization of the transcription factors are crucial for the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of ribosomal gene expression.

Acanthamoeba rRNA transcription involves the binding of a transcription initiation factor (TIF) to the core promoter of rDNA to form the preinitiation complex. This complex is formed in the absence of RNA polymerase I, and persists for multiple rounds of initiation. Polymerase I next binds to form t

Ribosomal R N A (rRNA) contents were determined in 16 maize genotypes whose individual rRNA gene numbers varied from 5000 to 23,000 per 2C nucleus. Analytical polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of total R N A showed that no obvious relation existed between rRNA gene number and rRNA content. Only two
