Nachweis pflanzlicher Ribonukleasen in Polyacrylamid-Gelen nach Disk-Elektrophorese

Summary Detection of ribonucleases in polyacrylamide gels after disc-electrophoresis is possible by incubation of the gels in a solution of low molecular RNA followed by staining with methylene blue. Application of this method to protein extracts of wheat leaves, sugar beet leaves and roots of different bean varieties as well as callus cultures and roots of the same bean variety shows differences in number and position of RNase zones.
