Isolation and Characterization of Ribosomes from Nongerminated Conidia of Erysiphe graminis f. sp. tritici. John V. Leary, Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Michigan State University, East Lansing 48823, Present address of senior author: Department of Plant Pathology, University of California, Riverside 92502; Albert H. Ellingboe, Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Michigan State University, East Lansing 48823. Phytopathology 61:1030-1031. DOI: 10.1094/Phyto-61-1030.

Ribosomes were extracted from nongerminated conidia of Erysiphe graminis f. sp. tritici. Sucrose density-gradient profiles indicated the presence of 80S monosomes and polysomes which were shown to be ribonuclease-sensitive. Isopycnic density-gradient centrifugation of the ribosomes in cesium chloride was performed to determine the RNA to protein ratio.
