Interference of Dimethazone with Formation of Terpenoid Compounds
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dimethazone is a bleaching herbicide without any peroxidative activity. In addition to the inhibition of chlorophylls, carotenes, and xanthophylls, decreased formation of other prenyl lipids (phytol and a-tocopherol) can be observed in the presence of dimethazone. Application of this herbicide to pea plants results in the inhibition of longitudinal growth of the newly formed internodes which can be reversed by gibberellic acid. Apparently, dimethazone also decreases the endogenous gibberellin levels. As the formation of all the compounds assayed is inhibited to the same extent and as ho -values for chlorophyll and carotenoid biosynthesis are identical (about 10 |xm dimethazone), the various effects of dimethazone are explained by a single enzyme target in the terpenoid biosynthetic pathway between acetate and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate.

Terpenoids, compounds found in all domains of life, represent the largest class of natural products with essential roles in their hosts. All terpenoids originate from the five-carbon building blocks, isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and its isomer dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP), which can be derived from the mevalonic acid (MVA) and methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathways. The absence of two ...

Black cumin (Nigella sativa) is a medicinal plant of the Ranunculacea family which raised attention due to its pharmaceutical properties. Medical significance of N. sativa mainly attributed to its oxygenated monoterpenes which are biosynthesized via the methyl erythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway located in plastids. In this study, the essential oil components of leaves, flowers, and developmenta...
