ResumoThese findings are related to the present views on protein synthesis and the mechanism of the chloramphenicol effect especially with respect to the possible explanation of the stimulation of protein synthesis during a simultaneous inhibition of RNA formation. Physiological resistance of pollen tubes toward RNA antimetabolites, the relatively low sensitivity toward chloramphenicol, the contradictory change in RNA and protein synthesis due to 2-thiouracil and, further, resistance toward actinomycin D (Tupý, Süss 1965) point to the stability of the complex of messenger RNA with ribosomes in pollen tubes.
