| Abstract: | N,N-Diallyl-2-chloroacetamide (CDAA) (0.25 ppmw; I μM) inhibited growth of 14-day-old sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench. cv Funks G 522DR) when the herbicide was incorporated into sand. Kaurene oxidation was inhibited in a cell-free enzyme preparation from 4-day-old unruptured, etiolated coleoptiles. CDAA (1 μM) inhibited incorporation of 14C]mevalonic acid into kauren-19-oic acid (50%), with resultant increases in concentration of precursors. Thus, inhibition of gibberellin precursor biosynthesis was demonstrated, and this activity would explain many of the morphogenic and biochemical responses of grasses to CDAA. |
