RESUMO
Velocity sedimentation in an alkaline sucrose gradient of newly replicated chromosomal DNA revealed the presence of extrachromosomal DNA that was not replicated by differentiating cells in the elongation zone. The extrachromosomal DNA had a number average molecular weight of 12 X 10(6) to 15 X 10(6) and a weight average molecular weight of 25 X 10(6), corresponding to about 26 X 10(6) and 50 X 10(6) daltons, respectively, of double-stranded DNA. The molecules were stable, lasting at least 72 h after being formed. Concurrent measurements by velocity sedimentation, autoradiography, and cytophotometry of isolated nuclei indicated that the extrachromosomal molecules were associated with root-tip cells that stopped dividing and differentiated from G2 phase but not with those that stopped dividing and differentiated from G1 phase.
