Cytochalasin A blocked the accumulation of phytoalexin and
phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL)-protein in pea tissues treated
with a fungal elicitor but scarcely affected the PAL-mRNA
content. Further analysis showed that
Cytochalasin A decreased
the PAL-mRNA bound to ribosomes. These results indicate that
actin filaments are tightly associated with the translational
process of the PAL gene.
