Abstract

Birdsfoot trefoil, timothy, and sterile pea plants treated with 4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) butyric acid [4-(2,4-DB)], formed 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) to about the same extent. Apparently the enzymatic ability for beta oxidation can reside in the plant as well as in microorganisms.
