| Title | Effect of Biocides on the Development of the Photosynthetic Apparatus of Radish Seedlings Grown under Strong and Weak Light Conditions  | ||
| Abstract | The influence of two biocides (bentazone, triadim efon) on the growth-response of radish seedlings (Raphanus sativus L.) was investigated with special em phasis on the developm ent of sun or shade-type chloroplasts. I. The fun gicid e triadim efon causes strong-light growth-response and the formation of sun-type chloroplasts as seen from the changed chlorophyll a/b ratio and the carotenoid and prenyl-quinone com position. 2. The photosystem II herbicide bentazone, in turn, induces a shade-type adaption. It prevents the strong-light induced formation of sun-type chloroplasts, but has little influence on the chloroplast com position in weak light. | ||
