Abscisic acid as an inhibitor of RNA synthesis by RNA polymerase in vitro

  • 1. Bose Research Inst., Calcutta (India)

Description

Abscisic acid interacts with DNA which increases the stability of the double strand against heat or alkaline denaturation. Abscisic acid added to RNA polymerase systems isolated from the chromatin of coconut nuclei inhibits RNA synthesis by lowering the template activity of DNA. No interaction with RNA polymerase or the initiation factor (factor B) is discernible.
