Cellular proteins were not synthesized by germinating ascospores of Neutrospora tetrasperma until 90 min after spore activation. Nevertheless, immediately after activation these ascospores developed a cyanide-sensitive respiration which increased throughout this 90-min period. At 90 min the respiratory rates accelerated rapidly, protein synthesis was initiated, and transcripts for a subunit of the mitochondrial ATPase, employed here as a representative mRNA, began to accumulate.
