We used hydroponic experiments to examine the effects of different concentrations of lead (Pb) on the performance of the Pb-tolerable plant Conyza canadensis. In these experiments, most of the Pb was accumulated in the roots; there was very little Pb accumulated in stems and leaves. C. canadensis is
Tolerance to photoinhibition was compared between a paraquat-resistant and a sensitive biotype of Conyza bonariensis (L.). Cronq. Photoinhibitory damage was measured as a decrease in oxygen evolution or energy storage using photoacoustic spectroscopy, or as a decrease of (14)CO(2)-fixation. Prior to
Paraquat resistance has been claimed to be due to a sequestration of the herbicide before it reaches chloroplasts. This is based on the sensitivity of photosystem I in isolated thylakoids to paraquat, and autoradiographic analyses showing label from paraquat near veins 4 hours after treatment of a
