Abstract

The changes in the nucleic acid metabolism were studied in plants susceptible and resistant to 4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid (picloram). The total RNA and DNA content of the tissue correlated inversely with the herbicide resistance; the resistant plants were low in nucleic acids, whereas sensitive plants were high. The increase in the nucleic acids of the sensitive species 24 hr after picloram treatment appeared to be associated with lower levels of ribonuclease and deoxyribonuclease. The inability of the resistant species to make more RNA may be associated with high levels of nucleases in the tissue.
