Abstract

Anionic herbicide transport properties of lipids were measured using the Schulman model of liquid-liquid membrane and parenchymateous tissue from potato (Solarium tuberosum L. ‘Russet’) tubers. The more polar lipids, lecithin and monogalactosyl dilinolenate, increased (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid (2,4-D) exchange from the hydrophilic phase (buffered H2O:2,4-D solution) to the lipophilic phase (n-pentanol) more rapidly than the less polar triglycerides: tristearate, trioleate, and trilinolenate. The rate of 2,4-D exchange decreased with increased acidity of the hydrophilic phase indicating that polar lipids increased exchange of anionic herbicides through the liquid-liquid interface in the dissociated form. Potato tuber slices treated with lecithin accumulated more 2,4-D than did tissue receiving no lecithin, indicating that lecithin treatments increased 2,4-D accumulation by parenchymateous tissue when compared with untreated tissue.
