  • Description: The main band DNA of Phaseolus coccineus has a buoyant density of 1.692 g/ml. In roots, shoots, integuments and suspensors there is a DNA satellite with a buoyant density of 1.700 g/ml. The satellite of the roots, shoots and integuments represents approximately 28.2 %, 29.4 % and 34.7 % respectively of the total DNA. In suspensors, where polyteny occurs, besides the 1.700 g/ml satellite there is a second one at 1.696 g/ml. They represent about 32.9 % and 13.1 % of the total DNA. H3‐25S and H3‐18S ribosomal RNA of Phaseolus coccineus were hybridized separately with DNA of shoots from CsCl gradient fractions. In both hybridizations the peak of labelling coincides with the position of the DNA satellite with a buoyant density of 1.700 g/ml. Thus the genes for 25S and 18S are mainly located in this DNA component. Hybridization experiments at saturation inputs of H3‐25S ribosomal RNA with DNA of shoots, integuments, roots and suspensors give saturation values of 0.72 %, 0.64 %, 0.51 % and 0.42 % respectively. The lower saturation value in the suspensors may indicate an underreplication of ribosomal genes in this tissue. This is partly cancelled out by the amplification in another DNA: that of the second satellite at 1.696 g/ml which does not seem to be part of the ribosomal DNA.
