Oxidative Stress Induced by the 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Herbicide
نویسندگان
چکیده
Phenoxyacetic herbicides constitute one of the largest groups of herbicides sold in the world. Among them, since 1946, 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), whose structural formula is shown in Fig. 1, has been the most used. Nowadays, new formulations of 2,4-D are continuously made available. In fact, there are over 600 2,4-D products currently on the market. For over 60 years, 2,4-D has been the most commonly and widely used herbicide throughout the world (Tayeb et al., 2011 a).

Early transcriptional response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to stress imposed by the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid.
The global gene transcription pattern of the eukaryotic experimental model Saccharomyces cerevisiae in response to sudden aggression with the widely used herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) was analysed. Under acute stress, 14% of the yeast transcripts suffered a greater than twofold change. The yeastract database was used to predict the transcription factors mediating the response...
متن کاملExposure to Sub-lethal 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid Arrests Cell Division and Alters Cell Surface Properties in Escherichia coli
Escherichia coli is a robust, easily adaptable and culturable bacterium in vitro, and a model bacterium for studying the impact of xenobiotics in the environment. We have used correlative atomic force - laser scanning confocal microscopy (AFM-LSCM) to characterize the mechanisms of cellular response to the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). One of the most extensively used herbic...
متن کاملMechanism of hydroxyl radical-induced breakdown of the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-d).
Oxidative transformations by the hydroxyl radical are significant in advanced oxidation processes for the breakdown of organic pollutants, yet mechanistic details of the reactions are lacking. A combination of experimental and computational methods has been employed in this study to elucidate the reactivity of the hydroxyl radical with the widely used herbicide 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic ...
متن کاملThe yeast ABC transporter Pdr18 (ORF YNR070w) controls plasma membrane sterol composition, playing a role in multidrug resistance
The action of multidrug efflux pumps in MDR (multidrug resistance) acquisition has been proposed to partially depend on the transport of physiological substrates which may indirectly affect drug partition and transport across cell membranes. In the present study, the PDR18 gene [ORF (open reading frame) YNR070w], encoding a putative PDR (pleiotropic drug resistance) transporter of the ATP-bindi...
متن کاملOxidative Stress as a Possible Mechanism of Toxicity of the Herbicide 2,4- Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid (2,4-D)
Chlorophenoxy herbicides are widely used in agriculture and forestry, for the control of broad-leaved weeds in pastures, cereal crops, as well as along public rights of way. Structurally, these herbicides consist of a simple aliphatic carboxylic acid moiety attached to a chlorine-substituted aromatic ring via an ether linkage. One of the most commonly used herbicides of this type is 2,4-dichlor...
