Abstract
Inhibition of root growth in wheat caused by the grass herbicide haloxyfop [2-(4-[(3chloro-5-trifluoromethyl)2-pyridinyl)oxo]phenoxy)propanoic acid) is accompanied by a relative increase in linolenate in the membrane lipids of the root tips (Banas et al., 1993a). A number of substances which counteract the growth inhibition also counteract the increase in linolenate (Banas et al., 1993b). In order to elucidate possible relationship between these antagonistic compounds and their effect on polyunsaturated fatty acid content, we report in this communication the effect of two of these substances, salicylic acid (SAL) and salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM), on the production of polyunsaturated fatty acids in vivo and in vitro.
