Abstract

Changes in the amino acid content of Zea mays and Sorghum hnlcpemr by treatments with amitrole (3-amino-l,2,4-triazole) are reported. The evidence suggests that inhibition of histidine biosynthesis is probably not the mechanism of amitrole action in young seedling plants. Reductions in glycine and serine content of treated plants were observed. Results are discussed in relation to current theories on mechanisms of herbicide action.
