Sintesi di acidi ribonucleici e di proteine nelle diverse regioni dell'embrione di Xenopus laevis
An analysis of RNA and protein synthesis has been carried out on Xenopus laevis embryos, cut into two portions, during the early stages of their development. Actinomycin D was employed to inhibit the synthesis. The action of actinomycin on synthesis is stronger during gastrulation than during neurulation. In each stage a correlation between RNA synthesis inhibition and protein synthesis inhibition has been observed. In the ventral fragments of the neurula the ratio between the two inhibitions is...
