Abstract

S-(4-Ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-2-5-triazino)-glutathione and a-L-glutamyl-5-(4-ethylamino-6-iso-propylamino-2-5-triazino)-L-cysteine were isolated from atrazine treated sorghum sections by ion-exchange chromatography and identified by a combination of spectroscopic, chemical and Chromatographie procedures. These compounds represent a new class of herbicide metabolites in plants and indicate the presence of a third major detoxification pathway of atrazine in higher plants. F.s. See also Abs. 354.-M.Y.
