Meagher, R B

The experimental approaches which were used to examine RNA turnover outlined in our 1988 proposal are given. The first approach evaluates RNA structure in vivo by chemical modification. The second approach investigates molecular physiology by studying light regulated changes in rbcS RNA turnover rates. The third approach examines the determinants of RNA turnover in transgenic plants by searching for a transgenic system to examine light regulated RNA turnover. The structure of soybean rbcS RNA degradation products was studies in transgenic petunia. The fourth approach investigates the molecular evolution of RbcS sequences. 8 figs. (FL)
