Abstract

Most of the 3-amino-2,5-dichlorobenzoic acid (amiben) absorbed by treated plants was converted to N-glucosyl amiben in the roots. Only small amounts of amiben and N-glucosyl amiben occurred in stems and leaves. The N-glucoside was not metabolized further and remained in vegetative tissue of soybeans for at least 50 days. Soybeans which were depleted of carbohydrate reserves by starvation in the dark absorbed less amiben and produced less N-glucosyl amiben than did plants treated under normal illumination. A similar trend was noted for tomato plants treated in a comparable manner.
