Abstract: | S-ethyldipropylthiocarbamate (EPTC), S-(2,3-dichloroallyl)diisopropylthiocarbamate (diallate) and S-(2,3,3-trichloroallyl)diisopropylthiocarbamate (triallate) inhibited the formation of very long chain fatty acids by aged potato discs. Incorporation of acetate-14C] into total fatty acids was inhibited 24% by EPTC, 50% by triallate and 55% by diallate at 10?4 M. The relative sensitivity of very long chain fatty acid synthesis to thiocarbamates in potato tuber provides further evidence that these herbicides reduce cuticular wax by inhibiting fatty acid elongation. |
