Abstract

The plant hormones gibberellic acid (GA) and benzyladenine (BA) stimulated the development of dipeptidase activity in distal-half cotyledons of squash (Cucurbita maxima Duch. ‘Chicago Warted Hubbard’). The herbicides 2,4-D [(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid], dicamba (3,6-dichloro-o-anisic acid), and naptalam (N-1-napthylphalamic acid) inhibited the development of dipeptidase activity in this tissue. Herbicide concentrations which inhibited the development of this enzyme activity about 30% were used for the herbicidehormone interaction study. The addition of GA or BA counteracted the inhibition induced by 2,4-D and naptalam. Neither hormone grossly altered the inhibition induced by dicamba; however, BA did significantly reduce the inhibition caused by dicamba.
