Chemicals called safeners protect cereal crops from herbicide toxicity. Proteomic methods (2-D PAGE and LC-MS/MS) were utilized to identify safener- and/or herbicide-regulated proteins in three tissues (root, leaf, and coleoptile) of Triticum tauschii seedlings to better understand a safener's
Natural tolerance in hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to synthetic auxin herbicides is primarily due to rapid metabolic detoxification, but genes encoding these herbicide-detoxifying enzymes have yet to be identified. Herbicide safeners are commonly applied in wheat to achieve herbicide
