note = "Funding Information: 32p incorporation into the soluble region and a sharp decrease into the ribosomal and messenger fractions seem to support the thesis that this radioactivity represented degraded or incomplete RNA. Noteworthy is the consistency by which this radioactivity chromatographed, i.e. always at the same location and in a single peak on the chromatogram, indicating a molecule of a definite size and base composition. At the peak of oxygen uptake (Fig. ID), very little incorporation of 32p took place into the chromatographed RNA species and no incorporation at all occurred in the messenger fraction. We suggest that these data support the thesis that degeneracy of the avocado cell is mediated through a failure to synthesize ribosomal and messenger RNA. This investigation was supported in part by the Cancer Research Coordinating Committee of the University of California and by the U. S. Public Health Service Research Grant GM o8224 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences.",
