Abstract

Methionine-methyl-C14 administered to seedling tissue produces radioactive polymers consisting primarily of protein. Formation of polymer was inhibited within half an hour in susceptible species by 1, 10, and 50 ppm concentrations of isopropyl N-phenylcarbamate (IPC), isopropyl N-(3-chlorophenyl)carbamate (CIPC), methyl N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)carbamate (swep), and 4-chloro-2-butynyl N-(3-chlorophenyl)carbamate (barban). Resistance to inhibition varied with plant species, and was in accord with previously observed responses in field work. Inhibition of amino acid utilization may be a fundamental cause of carbamate phytotoxicity. Formation of material tentatively described as lignin is also inhibited.
