SO2-Induced changes in the polyribosomal profiles of the gametophyte of the moss tortula ruralis

Abstract

Aqueous SO2 (0.5–2.0 mM), in short-term exposure experiments (30–120 min.), causes a rapid loss of integrity of the polyribosomes in the moss Tortula ruralis. This effect is concentration- and exposure time-dependent and appears to be unattributable to an SO2-induced pH change.
