Abstract:In studying the effect of 2,4-D treatment on the chemical composition of bean plants, Sell et al (7) reported that the stem of 2,4-D treated plants contained almost twice as much crude protein as do stems of control plants. Later, Weller et al (9) found that 2,4-D treatment caused a slight decrease in crude leaf protein while the crude root protein remained approximately the same. The amino acid composition in the crude protein from 2,4-D treated stems were different from those of the control plants. A smal… Show more

“…Plants treated with 2,4-D tend to show a rapid depletion of sugars and starch in a wide variety of plants (2,19,38,46,52,57,75,86) . Klingman and Ahlgren (46) propose that r~serve carbohydrates are rapidly hydrolyzed to reducing sugars which are in turn oxidized through an active catabolic system, resulting in a total loss of dry weight .…”

Recent comprehensive reviews of the literature on herbicides, in which 2,4-D is considered, are numerous (3, 6, 62) as well as specific reviews emphasizing the mode of action of 2,4-D (16, 38, 78).
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.
