Ultrastructural changes occurring in wheat leaves following triadimefon treatment

摘要

AbstractChanges occurred in leaf cells following treatment of glasshouse grown wheat seedlings with triadimefon by foliar application, root drench and vapour action. The effects were limited to cells adjacent to stomata, and included damage to the tonoplast and plasmalemma followed by breakdown of chloroplasts. These effects probably resulted from changes in membrane sterols induced by triadimefon treatment. They were severe local reactions, distinct from modification of gibberellin biosynthesis.
