Total cellular poly(A)+RNA from etiolated pea epicotyls was fractionated by urea-agarose gel electrophoresis and recovered by transfer to poly(U)-paper. Phytochrome mRNA activity was detected in RNA fractions that migrated slightly slower than the 25S rRNA in the electrophoresis. A single run of this fractionation enriched the phytochrome mRNA content 20-fold. This technique together with hybridization on poly(U)-paper made it possible to compare the mobilities of translatable and hybridizable phytochrome mRNA. The advantages of the present method of mRNA fractionation in preparing enriched mRNA and identifying cDNA clone are discussed.
