Comparative metabolism of atrazine and EPTC in proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) and corn     

G. Ezra  G.R. Stephenson 《Pesticide biochemistry and physiology》1985,24(2):207-212

The purpose of this study was to examine the differential activities of proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) and corn (Zea mays L.) with respect to atrazine [2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-S-triazine] and EPTC (S-ethyldipropyl thiocarbamate) metabolism. GSH-S-transferase was isolated from proso millet shoots and roots. When assayed spectrophotometrically using CDNB (1-chloro 2,4-dinitrobenzene) as a substrate, the shoot enzyme had only 10% of the activity of corn shoot enzyme while the root enzyme had 33% the activity of corn root enzyme. However, when proso millet shoot GSH-S-transferase was assayed in vitro using ¹⁴C-ring-labeled atrazine, it degraded the atrazine to water-soluble products at the same rate as the corn shoot enzyme. Incubation of excised proso millet and corn roots with [¹⁴C]EPTC indicated that uptake of EPTC was similar in both plants. However, proso millet metabolized the EPTC to water-soluble products at only half the rate of corn. Glutathione levels of proso millet roots were 35.9 μg GSH/g fresh wt, compared with 65.4 μg GSH/g fresh wt for corn. However, a 2.5-day pretreatment with R-25788 (N,N-diallyl-2-2-dichloroacetamide) elevated proso millet GSH levels to 62.7 μg GSH/g fresh wt. R-25788 did not elevate the activity of proso millet GSH-S-transferase, in contrast to its effects on corn. We conclude that differences in response to atrazine and EPTC in proso millet and corn are a result of their differential metabolism.  相似文献   

Dichloroacetamide antidotes enhance thiocarbamate sulfoxide detoxification by elevating corn root glutathione content and glutathione S-transferase activity     

Ming-Muh Lay  John E. Casida 《Pesticide biochemistry and physiology》1976,6(5):442-456

Glutathione (GSH) content and GSH S-transferase activity are consistently increased in corn roots on 24-hr exposure of corn seedlings to part per million levels of N,N-diallyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide (R-25788) and related antidotes for thiocarbamate herbicide injury in susceptible corn varieties. This combined enhancement of enzyme activity and cofactor level leads to rapid detoxification of thiocarbamate sulfoxides, which are proposed to be the active herbicidal compounds formed on metabolic sulfoxidation. S-(N,N-Dipropylcarbamyl)-GSH is formed by this enzyme-catalyzed detoxification of EPTC sulfoxide. This hypothesis on antidote mode of action is supported by studies on 32 dichloroacetamides and related compounds and on the concentration- and time-dependent relationships of R-25788 action. The liver GSH content is normal in mice injected with high doses of R-25788, but the content is reduced when EPTC or EPTC sulfoxide is administered. EPTC sulfoxide also carbamoylates the thiol group of coenzyme A in neutral aqueous medium.  相似文献   

The effect of CDAA (N,N,-diallyl-2-chloroacetamide) pretreatments on subsequent CDAA injury to corn (Zea mays L.)     

G. Ezra  D.G. Rusness  G.L. Lamoureux  G.R. Stephenson 《Pesticide biochemistry and physiology》1985,23(1):108-115

The effects of CDAA (N,N-diallyl-2-chloroacetamide) pretreatment on subsequent CDAA injury to corn were examined and compared with the effects of the herbicide protectant R-25788 (N,N,-diallyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide). In addition, the effects of CDAA pretreatment on subsequent CDAA metabolism were determined. It was found that 5μM CDAA protected corn from injury by 200 μM CDAA when given as a 2.5- or 1-day pretreatment. R-25788 at similar concentrations did not protect corn from subsequent R-25788 injury. Pretreatment with CDAA increased GSH levels of corn roots by 61% within 1 day, and these levels did not increase with a longer 2.5-day pretreatment with CDAA. GSH-S-transferase activity was assayed spectrophotometrically using CDNB (1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene). A 1-day pretreatment with CDAA increased the root GSH-S-transferase activity by 35%, but did not affect shoot GSH-S-transferase activity. A 2.5-day pretreatment resulted in a 50% increase in root GSH-S-transferase activity but no response of the shoot enzyme was observed. Even longer pretreatments with CDAA did not result in any further increases in enzyme activity. When corn roots pretreated with CDAA for 2.5 days were excised and incubated with radiolabeled CDAA, they exhibited greater rates of uptake and metabolism than did nonpretreated roots. With in vitro studies, a fairly high rate of nonenzymatic degradation of CDAA was observed. However, the enzymatic rate was always double that of the nonenzymatic rate under the experimental conditions used. It is concluded that elevations in the GSH levels and GSH-S-transferase activities of corn roots following CDAA pretreatments may be involved in the protection of corn from subsequent CDAA injury.  相似文献   

Gibberellin precursor biosynthesis inhibition by EPTC and reversal by R-25788     

R.E. Wilkinson 《Pesticide biochemistry and physiology》1983,19(3):321-329

S-ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate (EPTC) inhibited gibberellic acid (GA) precursor biosynthesis in a cell-free enzyme preparation from unruptured, etiolated sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. cv. G522 DR) coleoptiles. EPTC, 1 μM, inhibited incorporation of [¹⁴C]mevalonic acid into kaurene 60%, while 10 μM EPTC inhibited ¹⁴C incorporation into kaurene 90%. The precursor of kaurene cyclization (GGPP) increased in ¹⁴C content at both EPTC concentrations. R-25788 reversed the EPTC inhibition of kaurene synthesis. Kaurene oxidation was modified by both EPTC and R-25788. Hypothesized modes of action for EPTC and R-25788 are (a) inhibition of GA synthesis, (b) increased peroxidase activity resulting in increased lignification, (c) increased detoxification by sulfoxidation and carbamoylation, and (d) inhibition of fatty acid synthesis and/or desaturation. These hypotheses are discussed with three of them being incorporated into one working unit which correlates with EPTC and R-25788 symptom phenology. The fourth hypothesis could also fit into this general pattern.  相似文献   

Dichloroacetamide herbicide antidotes enhance sulfate metabolism in corn roots     

Carl A. Adams  Elizabeth Blee  John E. Casida 《Pesticide biochemistry and physiology》1983,19(3):350-360

The herbicide antidotes N,N-diallyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide (R25788) and 3-dichloroacetyl-2,2,5-trimethyloxazolidine (R29148) at ppm levels slightly enhance the uptake of [³⁵S]sulfate in corn roots and greatly increase its metabolism to “bound sulfide”, cysteine, and glutathione (GSH). The decrease in free sulfate content of the roots with R25788 is closely associated with an increase in GSH level. The sulfate content is decreased with an 8-hr exposure to R25788 and R29148 at 3 ppm and its decline continues through 48 hr to about 5% of the control level. Effects on sulfate content are evident at 24 hr even with 0.3–1 ppm of these antidotes. Several other mono- or dichloroacetamide antidotes at 30 ppm also decrease the free sulfate content of corn roots to about 34–60% of control levels within 24 hr. R25788 at 30 ppm has little or no effect at 24 hr on sulfate levels in corn leaves whether the plants are grown in the light or in the dark. R25788 and R29148 decrease sulfate levels in the leaves of milo and in whole pigweed plants, but not in barley, lambsquarters, water grass, wheat, or wild mustard. In increasing GSH biosynthesis, the antidote acts in corn prior to the reduction step to form bound sulfide; in fact, R25788 increases the specific activity of ATP sulfurylase, the first enzyme involved in sulfate assimilation. Thus, dichloroacetamides such as R25788 and R29148 provide a means to experimentally, and perhaps even practically, manipulate sulfate utilization in corn and some other plants.  相似文献   

Metabolism of EPTC in germinating corn: Sulfone as the true carbamoylating agent     

L. Horváth  Á. Pulay 《Pesticide biochemistry and physiology》1980,14(3):265-270

Corn (Zea mays L. single cross hybrid Mv 620) was germinated in a petri dish with addition of carbonyl[¹⁴C]EPTC (S-ethyl-N,N-dipropylthiocarbamate). The shoots and roots of 4-day-old seedlings were crushed and extracted in 80% methanol. On the chromatogram of the extract three radioactive peaks were found. The main peak was identified as S-(N,N-dipropylcarbamoyl)-glutathione. For the comparison of carbamoylating ability [¹⁴C]EPTC, [¹⁴C]EPTC-sulfoxide, and [¹⁴C]EPTC-sulfone were incubated with glutathione. Only EPTC-sulfone reacted in the 10-day incubation time. In aquatic solutions EPTC and EPTC-sulfoxide proved to be stable during the 10 days compared to EPTC-sulfone which quickly degraded, S-(N,N-Dipropylcarbamoyl)-glutathione was converted to S-(N,N-dipropylcarbamoyl)-cysteine in corn shoot homogenate. [¹⁴C]EPTC, [¹⁴C]EPTC-sulfoxide and [¹⁴C]EPTC-sulfone were added to corn shoot homogeneates and each of the three mixtures were analyzed by chromatography after 1 day incubation. EPTC was partly oxidized to EPTC-sulfoxide. EPTC-sulfoxide did not change and EPTC-sulfone produced similar metabolites as had been found in the germination experiment.  相似文献   

Potential antidotes against acetanilide herbicide injury to corn (Zea mays)*     

J. R. C. LEAVITT  DONALD PENNER 《Weed Research》1978,18(5):281-286

R-25788 (2,2-Dichloro-N,N-diallylacetamide) was the most effective of six potential antidotes evaluated to counter corn (Zea mays L.) injury from the acetanilide herbicides alachlor, metolachlor, acetochlor, H-22234 (N-chloroacetyl-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)glycine ethyl ester), and H-26910 (N-chloroacetyl-N-(2-methyl-6-cthylphenyl)glycine isopropyl ester). The other potential antidotes in order of decreasing effectiveness were: R-29148 (2,2-dimethyl-5-methyl-dichloroacetyloxazolidine), NA (1,8-naphthalic anhydride), CDAA (2-chloro-N,N-diallylacetamide), Carboxin (2,3-dihydro-5-carboxanilido-6-methyl-l,4-oxathiin), and gibberellin (GA₃). GA₃ only partly relieved the stunting of corn caused by EPTC and metolachlor and did not prevent other herbicide injury symptoms, suggesting that the mode of action of EPTC and metolachlor is not to simply block GA₃ synthesis. R-25788 protected corn equally well from acetanilide or EPTC injury. Produits protecteurs du maïs (Zea mays) contre les dommages provoqués par les acétanilides herbicides Le R-25788 (2,2-dichloro-N.N-diallylacétamide) s'est révéléêtre le plus efficace de six produits protecteurs essayés pour préserver le maïs (Zeas mays L.) des dégâts provoqués par des acétanilides herbicides: alachlore, métolachlore, acétochlore, H-22234 (ester éthylique de la N-chloracétyl-N-(2,6-diéthylphényl) glycine) et H-26910 (ester isopropylique de la N-chloroacétyl-N-(2-méthyl-6-éthylphényl) glycine. Les autres produits protecteurs potentiels ont été, dans l'ordre d'efficacité décroissante: le R-29148 (2,2-diméthyl-5-méthyl-dichloroacéthyloxazolidine), l'AN (anhydride 1.8-naphtalique), le CDAA (2-chloro-N-N-diallylacétamide), la carboxyne (2,3-dihydro-5-carboxanilido-6-méthyl-l,4-oxathiine) et la gibbérelline (A₃ G). Cette dernière a seulement atténué le rabou-grissement provoqué par l.EPTC et le métolachlore chez le maïs. Elle n'a pas supprimé les symptômes de dommages provoqués par les autres herbicides, ce qui suggère que le mode d'action de I'EPTC et du métolachlore ne consiste pas seulement en un blocage de la synthèse de la gibbérelline. Le R-25788 a protégé le maïs des dommages provoqués par l'acétanilide ainsi que par I'EPTC. Potentielle Antidots zur Vermeidung von Acetanilid-Herbizid-schäden an Mais (Zea mays) Von sechs potentiellen Antidots, die geprüft wurden, um Schäden an Mais (Zea mays L.) durch Acetanilid-Herbizide zu vermeiden, war R-25788 (2,2-Dichlor-N,N-diallylacetamid) am wirksamsten. Die verwendeten Herbizide waren: Alachlor, Metolachlor, Acetochlor, H-22234 [N-Chloracetyl-N-(2,6- diäthylphenyl) glycin Älhylester] und H-26910 [N-Chloracelyl-N-(2-méthyl-6-äthylphenyl)glycin lsopropylester]. Die weiteren möglichen Antidots, in der Reihenfolge abnehmender Wirksamkeit, waren: R-29148 (2,2-Dimethyl-5-methyldichlorace-toxazolidin), NA (1,8-Naphthalsäureanhydrid), CDAA (2-Chlor-N,N-diallylacetamid), Carboxin (2,3-Dihydro-5-car- boxanilido-6-methyl-l,4-oxathiin) und Gibberellin (GA₃). durch GA₃ wurde die dureh EPTC und Metolachlor verursachte Stauchung des Mais nur teilweise vermieden. Die durch andere Herbizide verusachten Symptome liessen sich durch GA₃ nicht vermeiden, was darauf schliessen lässt, dass die Wirkungsweise von EPTC und Metolachlor nicht einfach mit einer Blockierung der GA₃ -Synthese zu erklären ist. R-25788 schützte Mais gleichermassen vor Acetanilid-, wie vor EPTC-Schäden.  相似文献   

NN-DIALLYL-αα-DICHLOROACETAMIDE AS AN ANTIDOTE FOR EPTC AND OTHER HERBICIDES IN CORN     

F. Y. CHANG  J. D. BANDEEN  G. R. STEPHENSON 《Weed Research》1973,13(4):399-406

Summary. The efficacy of NN -diallyl-αα-dichloroacetamide (R-25788) as an antidote for reducing the injury of various herbicides in corn ( Zea mays L.) was tested under controlled conditions in growth rooms. The application of R-25788 to the soil as a pre-plant incorporated treatment to corn significantly reduced the toxicity often out of twenty-two herbicides tested. These ten herbicides were, in order of decreasing effectiveness of the antidote, EPTC, barban, sulfallate, vernolate, molinate, butylate, alachlor, pebulate, linuron and di-allate. In quartz sand nutrient culture, R-25788 was more effective as an antidote for barban applied to the foliage of corn than it was for barban applied to the roots.

Comparative studies of safeners for the prevention of EPTC injury in maize     

K. GöRöG  GY. MUSCHINEK  L. A. MUSTÁRDY  Á. FALUDI-DÁNIEL 《Weed Research》1982,22(1):27-33

The herbicide safener N-dichloroacetyl-1-oxa-4-aza-spiro-4,5-decane (AD-67) is of similar efficiency as the extensively used N.N-diallyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide (R-25788) and the structurally related 3-(dichloroacetyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-oxa-zolidine (AD-2) in reducing EPTC [S-ethyl-N,N-dipropyl (thiocarhamate)] injury to maize (Zea mays L. cv. KSC 360). EPTC treatment produces growth retardation and deformities and inhibits CO₂ fixation. It does not reduce epicuticular lipids appreciably but affects wax arrangement on the leaf surface. When EPTC is applied together with one of these safeners, these injuries are not observed. All three safeners act similarly. Each prevents the herbicide-induced aggregation of epicuticular wax of maize, thereby protecting the plants against the formation of areas where the underlying cuticle layers are exposed and increase in transpiration.  相似文献   

Rapid effects of a thiocarbamate herbicide and its dichloroacetamide protectant on macromolecular syntheses and glutathione levels in maize cell cultures     

G. Ezra  J. Gressel 《Pesticide biochemistry and physiology》1982,17(1):48-58

The rapid effects of the thiocarbamate herbicide S-ethyl dipropyl thiocarbamate (EPTC) and the herbicide protectant N,N-diallyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide (DDCA) on macromolecular syntheses and glutathione (GSH) levels in maize cell cultures were studied to determine whether stimulation of GSH could be the primary mechanism of action of DDCA. EPTC (0.5 and 1 mM) reduced incorporation of radioactive precursors within 1 hr after treatment, and affected incorporation of [³H]acetate into lipids more than incorporation of [³H]adenosine into acid-precipitable nucleic acids, or [¹⁴C]protein hydrolysate into protein. [¹⁴C]EPTC was rapidly biotransformed within 8 hr by maize cell suspensions. Measureable decreases in GSH levels following treatment with 1 mM EPTC occurred after 15 hr. DDCA stimulated incorporation of [³H]acetate into lipids within 4 hr but did not affect incorporation of [¹⁴C]protein hydrolysate into protein or [³H]adenosine incorporation into nucleic acids. Measureable increases in GSH following DDCA treatment began after 12 hr. Treatment with EPTC and DDCA in combination inhibited incorporation of [³H]acetate into lipids less than EPTC given alone. Increases in GSH levels could be observed following pretreatments with glutathione precursors, but no protectant activity could be detected, in contrast to treatments with DDCA. It is suggested that DDCA has an initial rapid effect on lipid metabolism followed by a slower effect involving increases in cellular GSH.  相似文献   

Triazine absorption by excised corn root tissue and isolated corn root protoplasts     

Gary L. Darmstadt  Nelson E. Balke  Thomas P. Price 《Pesticide biochemistry and physiology》1984,21(1):10-21

Absorption of four triazine herbicide analogs [ametryn (2-(ethylamino)-4-(isopropylamino)-6-(methylthio)-s-triazine), atrazine (2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine), atratone (2-methoxy-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine), and hydroxyatrazine (2-hydroxy-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine)] was compared using excised corn (Zea mays L.) root segments and isolated corn root protoplasts. The tissue absorbed ametryn, atrazine, and atratone for only 20 min. Ametryn and atrazine permeated tissue to passive equilibrium with the ambient solution in 10 min. Atratone permeated to 65 and 82% of passive equilibrium in 10 and 30 min, respectively. In contrast, hydroxyatrazine concentration in tissue was only 15 and 70% of the ambient concentration at 30 min and 24 hr, respectively. However, hydroxyatrazine permeated frozen/thawed tissue to 90% of passive equilibrium in 10 min. Protoplast absorption of ametryn and atratone was complete in 10 sec; hydroxyatrazine absorption by protoplasts did not reach a plateau until 5 min. Protoplasts absorbed the triazines to greater than passive equilibrium. Three kinetically homogeneous pools were detected for ametryn, atrazine, and atratone, whereas elution of hydroxyatrazine produced four pools. The three pools for atrazine were confounded by metabolism of atrazine to hydroxyatrazine. Pools for the triazines could not be identified as the free space, cytoplasm, and vacuole as proposed previously for mineral ions. Although the plasma membrane impeded diffusion of hydroxyatrazine, all analogs penetrated into the symplast.  相似文献   

鞘腐病发生程度与玉米倒伏及产量损失间的相关性分析   总被引：7，自引：1，他引：6  

王宽  曹志艳  李朋朋  尹海峰  刘俊  董金皋 《植物保护学报》2015,42(6):949-956

为深入探讨鞘腐病的发生对玉米倒伏及产量的影响,通过温室接种法测定了玉米不同发育阶段鞘腐病的发病程度及相关防御酶活性,以确定玉米鞘腐病的易感时期;并通过田间接种不同浓度的层出镰孢菌获得不同发病级别的玉米鞘腐病病株,于乳熟期调查病害发生程度,利用YYD-1B数显植物茎秆强度检测仪测定每株玉米茎秆的抗倒伏能力,收获后测定其产量。结果显示,玉米鞘腐病的易感时期为开花期,郑单958和浚单20在此时期鞘腐病的发病率分别为64.36%和40.22%;病情指数分别达42.73和19.58,均高于其它时期;玉米自交系OH43Ht1、郑58和杂交品种郑单958的茎秆抗倒伏能力均随着玉米鞘腐病发病级别的升高而降低;郑58和郑单958的产量随玉米鞘腐病发病级别的升高而降低,每公顷产量损失郑58从13.84%增加到29.53%、郑单958从3.99%增加到16.72%。表明玉米鞘腐病严重发生时能够降低玉米的抗倒伏能力和产量,且对自交系的影响大于杂交品种,生产中应引起高度重视。  相似文献   

Induction of detoxifying enzymes by allelochemicals and host plants in the fall armyworm     

S.J. Yu 《Pesticide biochemistry and physiology》1983,19(3):330-336

The effect of various plant substances and host plants on the microsomal oxidases and glutathione S-transferase was investigated in the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith)) maintained on a meridic diet. The glucosinolate, sinigrin, and the hydrolytic products of glucosinolates, β-phenylethylisothiocyanate, indole 3-acetonitrile, and indole 3-carbinol, and flavone were found to be potent inducers of the glutathione S-transferase in the armyworm. An 18-fold increase in the transferase activity was observed when larvae were fed a diet containing 0.2% indole 3-acetonitrile for 2 days. These compounds, with the exception of β-phenylethylisothiocyanate which appeared to be inhibitory, also stimulated the microsomal aldrin epoxidase significantly. In all instances, no induction of the microsomal oxidase or glutathione S-transferase was observed by the plant hormones, indole 3-acetic acid and gibberellic acid; the terpenoids, stigmasterol, sitosterol, and β-carotene; the polyphenolic gossypol; and the flavonol, quercetin; some of them were found to be inhibitory. Using corn, potato, and sweet potato as inducers of various microsomal oxidases, it was found that the inducing pattern of the N-demethylase was different from the two epoxidases and O-demethylase. Corn leaves were the most active compared with other aerial parts of corn (silks, developing corn, and husk) in inducing the microsomal oxidase. The microsomal oxidase in the younger larvae appeared to be less inducible by host plants than in the older larvae.  相似文献   

Comparative responses of selected corn (Zea mays L.) hybrids to EPTC and metolachlor     

C. K. COTTINGHAM  K. K. HATZIOS  S. A. MEREDITH 《Weed Research》1993,33(2):161-170

Eleven corn (Zea mays L.) hybrids were evaluated in terms of their growth response to treatment with a high rate (6.7 kg ha^?1) of the thiocarbamate herbicide, EPTC, and the chloroacetanilide herbicide, metolachlor. Most of the tested hybrids were more susceptible to treatment with metolachlor than EPTC. It was apparent that the degree of tolerance observed for one of these herbicides was not necessarily matched by a similar degree of tolerance to the other. No correlation between glutathione content and herbicide tolerance was observed for the 11 hybrids tested. A relationship between glutathione S–transferase (GST) activity and metolachlor tolerance was suggested by this study. In general, higher GST activities were characteristic of the more tolerant hybrids. The monooxygenase inhibitor, piperonyl butoxide (PBO), in combination with EPTC resulted in a synergistic effect on eight of the eleven tested hybrids. PBO acted synergistically in combination with metolachlor on only two hybrids and to a lesser extent than with EPTC. Soil treatment with the oxygen evolving compound, calcium peroxide, appeared to have an antagonistic effect on the growth response of ‘Northrup–King 9283’ corn treated with EPTC. In contrast the same treatment had a synergistic effect on the growth response of this hybrid to metolachlor. Both the synergism of EPTC by PBO and the antagonism by calcium peroxide are believed to be due to the importance of monooxygenase activity in the metabolism of EPTC. Tolerance to EPTC is consequently more likely to be influenced by oxidative reactions than is tolerance to metolachlor. Réponses comparées d'hybrides sélectionnés de mai's (Zea mays) a l'EPTC et au métolachlor Onze hybrides de mai's (Zea mays) ont étéétudiés en regard de leur croissance suite à un traitement à une dose é1evée (6.7 kg ha^?1) de 1'herbicide thiocarbamate, EPTC et de 1'herbicide chloroacétanilide, métolachlor. La plupart des hybrides testés étaient plus sensibles au métolachlor qu' à l'EPTC. II est apparu que le degré de tolérance observé pour 1'un de ces herbicides n'était pas nécessairement accompagné par un degré similaire de tolérance pour 1'autre. Aucune corrélation entre la teneur en glutathion et la tolérance herbicide n'a été observée pour les 11 hybrides testés. Une relation entre 1'activité de la glutathion S–trans–férase (GST) et la tolérance au métolachlor a été suggérée par cette étude. En général les activités GST plus élevées étaient caractéristiques des hybrides les plus tolérants. L'inhibiteur monooxygénase, le pipéronyl butoxide (BPO) en mélange avec l'EPTC a abouti a un effet synergique sur 8 des 11 hybrides testés. PBO a agis en synergic en mélange avec le métolachlor chez seulement 2 hybrides et à une échelle moindre qu'avec 1'EPTC. Un traitement du sol avec un composé oxygéné, du calcium peroxyde, est apparu avoir un effet antagoniste sur la croisance du mai's ‘Northrup–King 9283’ traitéà l'EPTC. Au contraire, le même traitement a eu un effet de synergie sur la croissance de cet hybride traité au métolachlor. Tant la synergie entre l'EPTC et le PBO, que l'antagonisme avec le calcium peroxidé semblent être liés à l'importance de l'activité monoxygenase dans le métabolisme de l'EPTC. La tolérance à l'EPTC est en conséquence plus étroitement influencée par les réactions oxydantes que la tolérance au métolachlor. Reaktion ausgewählter Mais-Hybriden (Zea mays L.) auf EPTC und Metolachlor Das Wachstum von 11 Mais-Hybriden (Zea mays L.) nach Behandlung mit einem hohen Aufwand (6,7 kg ha^?1) des Thiocarbamats EPTC und des Chloracetanilids Métolachlor. Es war deutlich, daß der Grad der Toleranz gegenüber einem dieser Herbizide nicht notwendigerweise dem bei dem anderen entsprach. Bei allen 11 Hybriden konnte keine Korrelation zwischen dem Glutathion-Gehalt und der Herbizidtoleranz gefunden werden. Auf Grund dieser Untersuchung wird eine Beziehung zwischen der Aktivität der Glutathion-S-Transferase (GST) und der Metolachlor-Toleranz angenommen, denn tolerantere Hybriden hatten im allgemeinen eine höhere GST-Aktivität. Der Monooxygenase-Hemmer Piperonylbutoxid (PBO) hatte zusammen mit EPTC eine synergistische Wirkung auf 8 der 11 Hybriden. Mit Metolachlor wirkte PBO synergistisch nur bei 2 Sorten und in geringerem Maße als mit EPTC. Eine Bodenbearbeitung mit dem sauerstoffabgebenden Calciumperoxid hatte offensichtlich eine antagonistische Wirkung auf das Wachstum von ‘Northrup-King 9283’ bei Behandlung mit EPTC. Im Gegensatz dazu wirkte dieselbe Behandlung dieser Hybride mit Metolachlor synergistisch. Es wird angenommen, daß sowohl der Synergismus von EPTC mit PBO als auch der Antagonismus mit Calciumperoxid für die Bedeutung der Monooxygenase-Aktivität für den Metabolismus von EPTC sprechen. Die Toleranz gegenüber EPTC ist deshalb wahrscheinlich mehr durch oxydative Reaktionen beeinflußt als die Toleranz gegenüber Métolachlor.  相似文献   

Host plant induction of glutathione S-transferase in the fall armyworm     

S.J. Yu 《Pesticide biochemistry and physiology》1982,18(1):101-106

The influence of various host plants on glutathione S-transferase activity was studied in the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith). Fall armyworm larvae were maintained on a semidefined artificial diet until the end of the fifth instar. The newly molted sixth instar larvae were then fed fresh leaves of various host plants for 2 days prior to glutathione S-transferase assays using 3,4-dichloronitrobenzene as substrate. The order of the midgut glutathione S-transferase activity of larvae after the worms fed on these plants was: mustard > turnip > cowpeas > peanuts > cotton > corn > cucumber > potato > Bermudagrass > millet > sorghum > soybeans. The difference in the transferase activity between soybean- and mustard-fed larvae was 10-fold. Kinetic study revealed a quantitative, but no qualitative difference in the glutathione S-transferase between soybean- and cowpea-fed larvae. Monoterpenes, such as α-pinene, β-pinene, menthol, and peppermint oil, had no effect on the enzyme. Cowpea-fed larvae were more tolerant of the insecticides diazinon, methamidophos, and methyl parathion than soybean-fed larvae were. These new observations help explain what has been happening in the field and might be of use in the development of pest management programs.  相似文献   

Inhibition of conversion of geranylgeranyl-chlorophyll to phytol-chlorophyll by S-ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate (EPTC)     

R.E. Wilkinson 《Pesticide biochemistry and physiology》1985,23(2):289-293

The influence of EPTC (S-ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate) on the hydrogenation of geranylgeranylchlorophyll (GG-Chl) to phytol-Chl was studied during the greening (6-, 12-, 18-, 24-, and 48-hr incandescent light exposure) of etiolated wheat [Triticum aestivum (L.) cv “Stacy”] and sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench cv “G 522DR”] seedlings grown in nutrient solution containing ¹⁴C-labeled sodium acetate. Chloroplast pigment synthesis occurred and small quantities of GG-Chl were found in both Chl^?a and Chl^?b. When wheat seedlings were greened for 48 hr in an EPTC concentration series (1 nM to 100 μM), geranylgeraniol (GG) content increased from 11% (control) to 60% (100 μM EPTC) of the isoprenoid alcohol esterified to chlorophyllide a, but Chl-b contained ≤1% GG-Chl at all concentrations of EPTC. Sorghum seedlings greened for 48 hr in the same EPTC concentration series contained about 3% GG (control) while 100 and 40% GG esterified to chlorophyllide a and chlorophyllide b, respectively, after 48 hr exposure to 100 μM EPTC. Thus, EPTC prevented hydrogenation of GG-Chl to phytol-Chl on the Chl molecule more in sorghum than in wheat.  相似文献   

Quinone accumulation in S-ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate-treated wheat     

Robert E. Wilkinson 《Pesticide biochemistry and physiology》1978,8(2):208-214

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv Holley) was grown for 15 days in sand into which S-ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate (EPTC) (0, 15.6, 31.25, 62.5, or 125.0 μg/kg) had been incorporated. Growth was decreased more by EPTC under high light intensity (270 μein/m²/sec) than under low light (20 μein/m²/sec) intensity. Wheat grown in the dark did not respond to EPTC at these concentrations. In high light intensity, plastoquinone-9, plastohydroquinone-9, α-tocopheroquinone, and α-tocopherol contents (nanomoles per gram fresh weight) increased as EPTC concentration increased. Similar but less marked results occurred at the low light intensity. Plastohydroquinone-9/plastoquinone and α-tocopherol/α-tocopheroquinone ratios increased at both light intensities as EPTC concentration increased. This indicated an EPTC-induced inhibition of plastohydroquinone and α-tocopherol epoxidation. Chlorophyll a and b and total carotenoid contents increased as EPTC concentration increased in plants grown at high light intensities. Changes in the membrane electron carriers contents per unit of chlorophyll or carotenoid (micrograms per milligram of pigment) occurred. As a tentative hypothesis, it is suggested that transmembrane electron transport systems were inhibited, but growth in size (fresh weight per pot) was inhibited more than was synthesis of the various pigments and quinones. Thus, a separation of growth and metabolic response to EPTC was demonstrated.  相似文献   

The herbicidal mode of action of R-40244 and its absorption by plants     

Ming-Muh Lay  Ann M. Niland 《Pesticide biochemistry and physiology》1983,19(3):337-343

The herbicide R-40244, 1-(m-trifluoromethylphenyl)-3-chloro-4-chloromethyl-2-pyrrolidinone, was studied to elucidate its action and absorption by corn (Zea mays L. DeKalb XL-45A) and other plant species. R-40244 readily induced lead chlorosis in susceptible plants at relatively low rates of application. The leaf chlorosis was found to be related to a reduction in chlorophyll and β-carotene content and an accumulation of the β-carotene precursor, phytoene. The phytotoxic action of R-40244 occurred only under light conditions. R-40244 was readily absorbed by plant roots and translocated to foliar tissues. There were no discernible differences in R-40244 absorption between proadleaf and grassy species. However, uptake studies with eight plant species indicated that foliar accumulation tended to occur in susceptible species and root accumulation predominated in tolerant species.  相似文献   

Influence of R-40244 on pigment content of wheat and corn     

R. M. DEVLIN  MARIAN J. KISIEL  RZEJ S. KOSTUSIAK 《Weed Research》1979,19(1):59-61

Chlorophyll production by wheat (Triticum aestivum L. ‘Mericopa’) and corn (Zea mays L. Merit) was severely curtailed by the experimental herbicide l-(m-trifluoromethylphenyl)-3-chloro-4-chloromethyl-2-pyrrolidone (R-40244). A 96% loss in chlorophyll content was observed in wheat seedlings treated with 320 μmol/1 R-40244. In corn 320 μmol/1 R-40244 caused a 40% drop in chlorophyll content. Carotenoid production in both wheat and corn was inhibited by R-40244, 320 μmol/1 of the herbicide causing a 97% reduction in wheat and a 44% reduction in corn. The inhibition of carotenoid production which, in turn, allows chlorophyll to be photooxidized, may represent the mode of action of R-40244. Hill reaction activity was not detected for R-40244.  相似文献   

Competition between a thiocarbamate herbicide and herbicide protectants at the level of uptake into maize cells in culture     

G. Ezra  E. Krochmal  J. Gressel 《Pesticide biochemistry and physiology》1982,18(1):107-112

The rapid interactions between the herbicide S-ethyl dipropyl thiocarbamate (EPTC) and the structurally similar herbicide protectant N,N-diallyl 2,2-dichloroacetamide (DDCA) at the level of herbicide uptake were examined in maize cell cultures. When the two compounds were given simultaneously, DDCA inhibited uptake of [¹⁴C]EPTC into maize cells measured for 30 min. A Lineweaver-Burk plot indicated this inhibition to be competitive. N,N-Diallyl 2-chloroacetamide (CDAA), a compound similar in structure to DDCA, inhibited uptake to a lesser extent. Other protectants having no similarity in structure to either DDCA or EPTC had no inhibitory effect on the uptake of EPTC. The data suggest that competition between DDCA and EPTC for a site of uptake may be related to their similarity in chemical structure. Experiments with metabolic inhibitors suggested that uptake of EPTC is not via an active transport mechanism. We suggest that competition for uptake between EPTC and DDCA may represent the first step in a complex series of interactions between the herbicide and its protectant that contributes to the protection of maize from herbicide injury.  相似文献
