Herbricide-inhibited phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase in leaves of six nonsucculent scrub species

The influence of two herbicides, paraquat or 2,4,5-T on the in vitro as well as in vivo activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase from leaves of six nonsucculent scrub species was investigated. The plants, all native and important constituents of the scrubland vegetation, included Carissa spinarum L., Maba buxijoliaCl., Flacourtia sepiariaRoxb., Chomelia asiaticaO. Kze., Gymnosporia emarginataLaws., and Dodonaea viscosa L. The in vitro...
