The effectiveness of this method was checked for aldolase, whose thermostability was established from the temperature required for 50% inactivation after heating for 30 min (T50%). Eggs from a relatively cryophilic species, the loach, were fertilized with sperm from warm-water aquarium fish: the danio, barb, rasbora, and goldfish. The T50% for aldolase from the hybrid embryos and fry was 1-4 degrees higher than for aldolase from the loach. The increase in T50% in the loach times danio and loach times rasbora hybrids was shown to be caused by functioning of the paternal aldolase-controlling genes, which began at the somite-formation stage and coincided with the increase in enzyme activity in the embryo. The value of T50% was increased to a greater extent and reached its maximum more rapidly in the somite tissues than in the cephalic tissues.

When the content of high-molecular ribosomal RNA in the leaves of normal and mutant P. zonale plants was compared, the normal plants were found to have four types of RNA: two types of cytoplasmic-ribosome RNA and two types of plastid-ribosome RNA. No plastid-ribosome RNA was detected in the mutant. These results were confirmed by electron-microscopic examination: no ribosomes were detected in the mutant plastids.
