%X Previous studies have shown an increase in RNA at the shoot apex of L. temulentum following floral induction, detectable chemically 2 days after induction, and by histochemical means after 1 day. Here, a transient increase in the incorporation of 32P, applied to leaves, into nucleic acids at the apex is shown to occur at about the time when the long-day stimulus is estimated to reach the shoot apex. The increased 32p incorporation due to the long-day exposure occurs throughout the apex, and is not confined to the summit region. Most of the 32p was incorporated into RNA.
