“…The basis for differential tolerance of downy brome and winter wheat to metribuzin has not been established. Dif ferential absorption, translocation, and metabolism of metri buzin are known to be involved in the differential response among several other plant species (3,8,10,11,14). Hemp sesbania [Sesbania exaltata (Raf.)…”

Differential Metabolism of Metribuzin by Downy Brome (Bromus tectorum) and Winter Wheat (Triticum aestivum)

1987

At both 15 and 25 C, following a 24-h root absorption period, absorbed14C-metribuzin [4-amino-6-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one] was metabolized approximately 30% more rapidly to water-soluble and terminal fiber metabolites by winter wheat (Triticum aestivumL.) than by downy brome (Bromus tectorumL. # BROTE). Both species metabolized a greater proportion of metribuzin in leaf sheaths and roots than in the leaf blades. This was attributed to the increased incorporation of metribuzin into fiber. After an initial leaf extraction, metribuzin and the metabolites deaminated metribuzin (DA), deaminated diketo metribuzin (DADK), and diketo metribuzin (DK) partitioned into a chloroform fraction and five unidentified water-soluble metabolites into an aqueous fraction. At both 15 and 25 C, downy brome absorbed approximately three times more metribuzin per fresh weight than did winter wheat. The mechanism of differential tolerance of downy brome and winter wheat to metribuzin was attributed to the ability of winter wheat to metabolize metribuzin more rapidly and absorb less metribuzin than downy brome.

“…Studies examining dif ferential metabolism by barnyardgrass [Echinochloa cms galli (L.) Beau v. # ECHCG] and American black nightshade (Solanum americanum Mill. # SOLAM) indicated that American black nightshade metabolized metribuzin more rapidly than did barnyardgrass (11).…”
