Fat metabolism in higher plants. XXXIV. Development of fatty acid synthetase as a function of protein synthesis in aging potato tuber slices

C Willemot et al. Plant Physiol. 1967 Mar.

Abstract

Experiments with inhibitors of protein synthesis (actinomycin D, puromycin, actidione) showed that the increase and the change in fatty acid synthetase activity, observed during the aging of potato disks, were accompanied by and related to a temporary rise in the rate of protein and RNA synthesis. These results concur with the earlier suggestion by Click and Hackett that the aging process involves a type of derepression. A possible course of events during aging, and possible derepression mechanisms are suggested and discussed.
