Antagonistic Mode of Action of Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl Phytotoxicity with Bentazon

Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl의 제초활성에 대한 Bentazon의 길항작용기구

Antagonistic mode of action of fenoxaprop-P-ethyl [ethyl(R)2-4-{(6-chloro-2-benzoxazolyloxy) phenoxy}propionate] with bentazon was investigated with respect to absorption, translocation, metabolism, and change in target site response of fenoxaprop-P-ethyl using four-leaf stage of rice(Oryza sativa L.) and barnyardgrass [Echinochloa eras-galli (L.) P. Beauv.]. Shoots of rice and barnyardgrass was more sensitive to fenoxaprop-P-ethyl than the roots. More than 90% of fenoxaprop-P-ethyl was absorbed within 6 hours after treatment and 30% of the absorbed was acropetally and basipetally translocated at 24 hours after treatment. Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl was rapidly transformed to its acid form, fenoxaprop(2-[4-(6-chloro-2-benzoxazolyloxy)phenoxy]propionic acid), which was subsequently metabolized to polar conjugates. However, changes in absorption, translocation, and metabolism of fenoxaprop-P-ethyl by bentazon treatment were not found in both species. Background activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase(ACCase) in rice and barnyardgrass was 26.5 and 23.2nmol/min/mg, respectively. Concentration required to inhibit fifty percent enzyme activity$(I_{50})$ in vitro was 6.5~7.4${\mu}M$ of fenoxaprop-P-ethyl and more than 500${\mu}M$ of bentazon. There were no significant differences in $I_{50}$ value between two treatments of fenoxaprop-P-ethyl alone and its bentazon mixture. However, bentazon reduced ACCase activity in vivo and inhibited electron transport in chloroplast thylakoid. Based on the results obtained, it is concluded that the antagonistic effect of bentazon occurs due not to direct effect on target site of fenoxaprop-P-ethyl, but to indirect involvement in reducing herbicidal activity of fenoxaprop-P-ethyl through physiological disturbances caused by bentazone at whole chloroplast level.

Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl에 대한 bentazon의 길항작용기작을 검정하기 위하여 4엽기의 벼와 피를 대상으로 bentazon 혼합처리에서 나타나는 fenoxaprop-P-ethyl의 흡수, 이행, 대사 및 작용점의 활성 변화를 조사하였다. Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl에 대하여 벼와 피의 지상부에서 생육억제가 크게 나타났다. Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl 단독처리에 있어서 두 초종 모두에서 처리 직후부터 빠른 속도로 약제가 흡수되어, 총 흡수량의 90%이상이 약제처리 6시간 이내에 이루어졌으며, 처리 24시간까지 흡수량의 약 30%가 처리엽의 상, 하위조직으로 이행되었다. Ethyl ester형으로 처리된 약제는 신속히 acid형으로 전환되었으며, 처리 24시간 후부터는 acid형이 conjugate형의 대사물로 전환되었다. 그러나 bentazon에 의한 fenoxaprop-P-ethyl의 흡수, 이행 및 대사활성의 변화는 인정되지 않았다. In vitro ACCase의 활성은 벼와 피 에서 각각 26.5 및 23.2nmol/min/mg protein으로 나타났다. 이 효소 활성의 50% 저해농도에 있어서 fenoxaprop-P-ethyl 단독처리와 bentazon 혼합처리 사이에 유의성은 인정되지 않았다. 그러나 bentazon 처리에 의하여 in vivo ACCase 활성의 감소와 엽록체 thylakoid에서 전자전달의 억제가 나타났다. 따라서 fenoxaprop-P-ethyl에 대한 bentazon의 길항작용기작은 bentazon이 fenoxaprop-P-ethyl 작용점의 활성에 직접적으로 관여하는 것이 아니라, 엽록체 구조 및 활성 저해에 의한 fenoxaprop-P-ethyl의 작용점 감소를 통하여 간접적으로 fenoxaprop-P-ethyl의 활성을 억제하는 것으로 판단된다.
