Extract

In a previous paper it was reported that there was no difference in the oxidation of ascorbic acid by homogenates from control and N–(3,4–dichlorophenyl)methacrylamide (referred to in this paper as DCMA) treated corn tissues until 3 to 4 days after treatment. At this time, there was a sudden increase in the oxidation of ascorbate by homogenates from treated tissue. The rate of oxidation continued to rise throughout the testing period (0 to 8 days after treatment). Since this appeared to be a significant finding, it was decided the reaction should be pursued further.
