Amino‐acid Composition of Grain Protein From Wheat and Barley Treated With 2,4‐d*

Abstract: Wheat and barley treated with the butoxyethyl ester of 2,4-D at 2, 4 and 8 kg/ha (a.e.) at the jointing stage of growth were analysed for the amino-acid composition of the protein of the grain. A slight decrease in the threonine and arginine, and an increase in the proline content of wheat protein were observed. In barley, only melhionine showed a slight increase as a re.sult of herbicide treatment. No significant difference in the amino-acid composition of the protein was found in grain from hand-weeded and u… Show more

“…In Lebanon some work has been conducted on the tolerance of wheat and barley a t different stages of growth to 2,4-D sprays (Saghir and Aqiqullah, 1970) and on the amino acid composition of the grain protein of wheat and barley treated with this herbicide (Pellett and Saghir, 1971). About 5% of the pesticides imported by Lebanon are herbicides, with 2.4-D being the principal chemical used on cereals.…”
