Actinomycin D Effects in Frog Embryos: Evidence for Sequential Synthesis of DNA-Dependent RNA

Reed A. Flickinger 1

1 Department of Zoology, University of California, Davis

Early gastrulae of Rana pipiens exposed to actinomycin D for 2 days were then cultured in saline. The resulting larvae were immotile; histological examination revealed impaired development of axial nerve and muscle tissues, but normal differentiation of sensory, pronephric, heart, and digestive tissues; this suggests sequential synthesis of the different tissue-specific molecules of DNA-dependent RNA.
