RNA synthesis and protein synthesis in viable pea embryonic axis tissue commences during the first hour of water imbibition whilst DNA synthesis commences after 8 h of imbibition. Neither DNA synthesis nor protein synthesis could be detected in non-viable axis tissue during the first 24 h of imbibition but some RNA synthesis is detectable during this period. Both post-ribosomal supernatant and ribosomal fractions from imbibed non-viable embryonic axis tissue were impaired in their ability to support polyphenylalanine synthesis in a cell-free protein-synthesising system, yet the same fractions isolated from unimbibed non-viable axis tissue were as efficient as equivalent fractions from unimbibed viable axis tissue in the support of polyphenylalanine synthesis in the cell-free system. A major lesion in elongation factor 1 activity and additional lesions in elongation factor 2 and phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase activities were detected in the post-ribosomal supernatants isolated from non-viable embryonic axis tissue.
