Absorption and Penetration of Picloram in Potato Tuber Discs

Abstract: Discs of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tuber tissue were immersed in buffered (pH 4.0 to 8.0) solutions of 4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid (picloram) (5 × 10−4M to 5 × 10−3M) for 1 to 36 hr. Uptake of picloram during incubation, and leakage after return of the discs to untreated buffer, were determined by gas chromatographic analysis of extracts of the tissue and ambient buffer. Picloram absorption increased with concentration and with time up to 24 hr. Maximum uptake occurred at pH 4.0 and very little p… Show more

“…Since picloram has strong auxin properties, it is reasonable to suggest that the uptake and accumulation of picloram by excised plant tissues proceeds by a mechanism similar to that proposed by Venis and Blackman (1966 b, c). Our results are in agreement with those of Baur and Bovey (1970) and Swanson and Baur (1969) who suggested a similar mechanism for uptake of picloram by potato tuber discs.…”

“…Very little work has been reported on the uptake of picioram by excised plant tissues. Baur and Bovey (1970) and Swanson and Baur (1969) suggested that the uptake of picioram by potato {Solanum tuberosutn L.) tuber discs occurs in part via an unstable accumulation mechanism similar to that proposed by Venis and Blackman (1966 b, c) for other auxin-herbicides. Although inhibitor studies are needed to characterize further the nature of picioram uptake, from the experiments of Swanson and Baur (1966) it appears that there is both a strong physical diffusion component and an associated metabolic component to uptake.…”

“…However, absorption was similar when 14 Picloram absorption increased as spray solution pH decreased in detached live oak (Quercus virginiana Mill.) leaves and potato (Solanum tuberosa L.) disks (4,27). Greater root uptake of picloram at pH 3.5 than at pH 4.5 for oat (Avena sativa L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]…”

“…Enhanced picloram uptake, which has been attributed to the influence of ATP on uptake mechanisms, actually may have been due to high H+-ion concentrations in inadequately buffered solutions. Numerous workers have demonstrated that picloram uptake is markedly enhanced at pH values less than the pK (4.1) of the acid (8,19). In preliminary experiments the addition of 5 m M ATP to unbuffered treatment solution reduced the pH to about 3.2, suggesting that enhanced uptake in the presence of ATP may be a direct result of lowered pH.…”

“…Many of the conclusions about the mechanisms involved in picloram absorption have been drawn from studies conducted with excised roots and various other plant tissues (2,14,16,17,19). Accordingly, a study was undertaken of the factors that affect absorption of picloram by intact roots of alfalfa (susceptible) and barley (resistant) plants.…”
