Abstract:Maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes exhibit differential tolerance to metazachlor (2-chloro-N-(pyrazol-1-ylmethyl)acet-2'-6'-xylidide) in the greenhouse and in the field. However, since little is known on the effect of metazachlor on the ultrastructure of maize seedlings, laboratory experiments were conducted to determine this effect.Metazachlor caused ultrastructural changes in both root and leaf cell organelles of maize seedlings of susceptible genotypes. In susceptible genotypes root cell nucleoli were found to b… Show more
