H. 1986. Movement of paraquat in resistant and susceptible biotypes of Erigeron philadelphicus and E. canadensis. -Physiol. Plant. 66: 605-608.Paraquat (l,r-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium) resistant biotypes of Erigeron philadelphicus and E. canadensis, from fields where paraquat had been used for weed control, showed more than 100 times higher resistance than the susceptible biotype of both plants. Excised leaves of the susceptible biotypes wilted when supplied with more than 5 \iM paraquatat at the cut ends, but those from the resistant biotypes did not wilt even at 500 | xiW. Autoradiographs indicated that ("CH,)-paraquat taken up through the cut ends was rapidly distributed through the vascalar system in leaves of the susceptible biotype, but was barely translocated in leaves of the resistant biotype. The amount of paraquat taken up during 48 h in the resistant biotype was 0.5% of that in the susceptible biotype in Ught. This difference in paraquat movement may be correlated with paraquat resistance in Erigeron.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
