RESUMO
The synthesis and accumulation of chymotrypsin inhibitor I in tomato leaflets is induced by detachment, or by destruction of petiole phloem by steam when followed by incubation of the leaflets in light. The induction process with detached tomato leaflets is similar to that found with detached potato leaflets. The large amount of inhibitor I synthesized per leaflet cell per unit time suggests either that the structural gene is redundant or that an unusually stable messenger RNA is present. In both tomato and potato leaflets the accumulation of inhibitor I is potently inhibited by actinomycin D, puromycin, and cycloheximide, but not by chloramphenicol. Indoleacetic acid is moderately inhibitory, as is 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea. Glutamine and asparagine are both markedly stimulating. The cumulative data suggest that inhibitor I is a major depot or interim storage protein and that its existence in any particular tissue is under complex controls by both the internal and external environments of the plants.
