| Effects of EPTC and Dichlormid on Membrane Lipid Composition of Maize Leaves and Roots  | | | | Abstract
| The changes in fatty acid composition o f maize leaf lipids caused by EPTC were generally similar to known effects o f this herbicide in other plants: decreasing o f linolenic acid content and increasing o f its precursors, palmitic, stearic, oleic and linoleic acids. However, novel effects were detected in roots where the proportion o f minor fatty acid palm itoleic acid was increased from 2.1 to 7.6 and 16.6% by EPTC and EPTC + dichlormid treatments, respective ly. Simultaneously, the phospholipid content o f root lipids was increased by both EPTC as well as EPTC + dichlormid treatments. The possible effects o f EPTC and dichlormid on lipid biosynthesis o f maize are discussed. | | | |

| Basis for Differential Chemical Selectivity of MG-191 Safener against Acetochlor and EPTC Injury to Maize | | | | Abstract
| The influence of MG-191 safener on the uptake, translocation and metabolism of [l4C]acetochlor and [14C]EPTC was studied. The amounts o f absorbed radioactivity by maize seedlings at 3, 6, 24, and 72 h after applications of [l4C]labeled herbicides and [l4C]MG-191 were different. Plants treated with [l4C]acetochlor took up 30-to 50-fold more radiolabel with in 72 h than [14C]EPTC-or [14C]MG-191-treated plants. Addition of MG-191 caused only mi nor changes in the rate of herbicide absorption. EPTC and MG-191 and/or their metabolites moved quickly acropetally and partitioned equally between root and shoot tissues up to 72 h. The amount of acetochlor and/or its labeled metabolites translocated to shoot tissues was less than 10%. MG-191 practically had no influence on herbicide translocation rates. With all chemicals the amounts of water-soluble and unextractable fractions increased while the ratio of hexane-extractable metabolites decreased with time. TLC analyses of both water-and hex ane-soluble metabolites confirmed the fast metabolism o f acetochlor. The acetochlor metabo lism took place via GSH conjugation and more polar, non-conjugated metabolites compared to parent molecule were detected in hexane-soluble fraction. MG-191 enhanced acetochlor metabolism by decreasing the portion of non-metabolized acetochlor. EPTC metabolism re sulted in water-soluble metabolites having similar chromatographic properties to those of ace tochlor. However, there was no safener effect on non-metabolized EPTC content of plants. It appears that MG-191 protects maize against EPTC by enhancing the early rate of conjugation with GSH after initial oxidative metabolism. | | | |
