Flow injection spectrophotometric determination of bromoxynil herbicide by diazotization method.
A flow injection spectrophotometric method is proposed for the determination of bromoxynil herbicide. Bromoxynil was hydrolyzed with HCl and the resulting product, 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxyaniline, was diazotized with nitrite and coupled with aniline. The absorbance of the azo dye was measured at 500 nm. The conditions were optimized for diazotization using FIA. The range of linearity was found to ...
متن کاملImmunomodulation confers herbicide resistance in plants.
In order to create a novel mechanism for herbicide resistance in plants, we expressed a single-chain antibody fragment (scFv) in tobacco with specific affinity to the auxinic herbicide picloram. Transgenic tobacco plants and seedlings expressing this scFv against picloram were protected from its effect in a dose-dependent manner. This is the first successful use of an antibody to confer in vivo...
متن کاملSimultaneous Expression of PDH45 with EPSPS Gene Improves Salinity and Herbicide Tolerance in Transgenic Tobacco Plants
To cope with the problem of salinity- and weed-induced crop losses, a multi-stress tolerant trait is need of the hour but a combinatorial view of such traits is not yet explored. The overexpression of PDH45 (pea DNA helicase 45) and EPSPS (5-enoylpruvyl shikimate-3-phosphate synthase) genes have been reported to impart salinity and herbicide tolerance. Further, the understanding of mechanism an...
متن کاملEngineering Plant Resistance to Thiazopyr Herbicide via Expression of a Novel Esterase Deactivation Enzyme
Plants were engineered to confer resistance to thiazopyr, a member of the pyridine herbicide family, via an esterase deactivation mechanism. Earlier studies showed that transformation of thiazopyr to its monoacid metabolite resulted in loss of herbicidal activity (P.C.C. Feng et al., 1995, Xenobiotica 35, 27). Based on thiazopyr hydrolytic activity, a 60-kDa esterase was purified from rabbit li...
متن کاملExpression and antimicrobial activity analysis of dermaseptin B1 recombinant peptides in tobacco transgenic plants
Recently, new molecular breeding and genetic engineering approaches have emerged to overcome the limitations of conventional breeding methods in generating disease-resistance transgenic plants. The use of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) to produce transgenic plants resistant to a wide range of plant pathogens has achieved great success. Among huge number of AMPs, Dermaseptin B1 (DrsB1), an antimi...
