Root Permeability as Affected by Picloram and Other Chemicals

Abstract

Picloram (4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid) is a highly biologically active herbicide with apparently unique properties. It causes distortions in growing tissue and other formative effects and growth promotion in stem sections. To further elucidate the modes of action of picloram, studies have been conducted on its effect on foliar transpiration. Because increased water deficit in the plant caused by changes in root permeability can result in transpiration reduction, the effects of picloram and several other chemicals on root permeability were studied.
