Abstract
Kinin requiring tobacco and soybean tissues incubated on a medium containing N,6-benzyladenine-8-C14 incorporated C14 into several RNA components including adenylic and guanylic acids. About 15% of the label taken up by the tissues appeared in RNA while the remainder was distributed among several metabolites in the soluble, nonpolynucleotide fraction. Tissue grown on a kinin labeled in the side chain (N,6-benzyladenine-benzyl-C14) also incorporated a small, but nevertheless repeatable, amount of radioactivity into minor RNA components.
