Abstract

Effects of fluazifop-butyl {(±)-butyl 2-[4-[(5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl)oxy] phenoxy] propanoate} on cellular uptake and incorporation of 14C-leucine, 14C-uridine, and 14C-thymidine into protein, RNA, and DNA, respectively, were evaluated in corn (Zea mays L.) coleoptiles and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] hypocotyls. Uptake of 14C-leucine in corn coleoptiles was inhibited by fluazifop-butyl at 10-4 to 10-7 M, which was related to reductions in incorporation of 14C-leucine into protein at 10-4 to 10-6 M. The effect of fluazifop-butyl on 14C-leucine uptake and incorporation was reduced by 2 × 10-6 M 2,4-D [(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid], indicating antagonism between these herbicides. RNA and DNA synthesis were inhibited at 10-5 and 10-4 M. Protein synthesis in soybean hypocotyls was stimulated by 10-7 and 10-6 M fluazifop-butyl 33 and 27%, respectively, and inhibited by 10-4 M 50%. RNA and DNA synthesis were also inhibited by 10-4 M in soybean.
