Metabolism of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid in 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid-resistant soybean callus tissue.

Three 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) -resistant root callus tissue lines of Glycine max L. Merrill var. Acme were derived by culturing callus tissue 2 to 6 months on 40 milligrams per liter 2,4-D and designated 40R, 40B, and 40C. Tissue line 40R had a lower level of 2,4-D uptake in 2-week-old tissue which disappeared in 3.5-week-old tissue and less free 2,4-D following incubation for 24...

Toxicity of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid – Molecular Mechanisms

2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) is a herbicide commonly used in agriculture. The residues of 2,4-D are present in air, water, soil and edibles. It constitutes a real hazard for human and animal health as numerous accidents of poisoning deaths caused by this herbicide have been reported. However, the molecular mechanism of its action is still unknown. The point of view concerning the toxi...
