Abstract

Following root application of a selective rate of 3-amino-2,5-dichlorobenzoic acid-C14 (amiben-C14), the translocation of radioactivity from roots to shoots was greater in pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.), a susceptible plant, than in soybeans, a resistant one. Most of the radioactivity extracted from soybean and pigweed plants was present as conjugates of amiben-C14. The conjugate extracted from soybean was chromatographically identical with an N-glycoside prepared from glucose and amiben. In soybean plants, 3-amino-2,5-dichlorobenzoic acid also was converted to N-glycosylamiben.
