Effects of fungal and plant esterases on the fungicidal activity of nitrophenyl esters

Aryl esterases, present within leaves and fungal spores and on their surfaces, hydrolysed 2-naphthyl, 4-nitrophenyl and 4-(1-substituted alkyl)-2, 6-dinitrophenyl esters at rates which appeared to be determined by the nature of the ester group and by the alkyl substituents in the molecule. No simple relationship was found between partitioning (as measured by Rm values from reverse-phase t.l.c.) and susceptibility to hydrolysis by esterases. The most readily hydrolysed alkyldinitrophenyl esters are not those derived from parent nitrophenols with the greatest fungitoxicity in vivo or in vitro and the highly active 4-(1-cyclobutylalkyl)-2, 6-dinitrophenyl crotonates are amongst the least easily hydrolysed. It is suggested that alkyldinitrophenyl esters may have their own mode of action as powdery mildew fungicides which complements, and may even supplant, that resulting from hydrolysis to the parent alkyldinitrophenol. The proposed mechanism is disruption of the fungal cell membrane (as a result of surfactant properties) leading to leakage of essential cell components.     

Induction of wheat and maize glutathione S-transferase by some herbicide safeners and their effect on enzyme activity against butachlor and terbuthylazine

The expression of glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity in wheat and maize shoots was investigated in response to treatments with the herbicide safeners benoxacor, cloquintocet-mexyl, fenchlorazole-ethyl, fenclorim, fluxofenim and oxabetrinil. These safeners significantly enhanced the GST activity towards 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) as a 'standard' substrate, with the exception of oxabetrinil in maize. The enhancements of GST (CDNB) activity were found to be concomitant with increases in V(max) (the reaction rate when the enzyme is fully saturated by the substrate) in wheat following cloquintocet-mexyl and fenchlorazole-ethyl treatments, and in maize following fenchlorazole-ethyl treatment. Otherwise, decreases in V(max) were observed in wheat and maize following fenclorim and fluxofenim treatments. With the exception of oxabetrinil, all the safeners significantly reduced the apparent K(M) (the substrate concentration required for 50% of maximum GST activity) of both wheat and maize GST. The V(max) and K(M) variations following safener treatments are discussed in terms of an increased expression of GST enzymes and an increased affinity for the CDNB substrate. The activity of wheat and maize GST was also assayed towards butachlor and terbuthylazine respectively; the results indicate the ability of cloquintocet-mexyl, fenchlorazole-ethyl and fluxofenim to enhance the enzyme activity in wheat and of benoxacor and fenchlorazole-ethyl to do so in maize.     

Mode of action and pesticidal activity of the natural product dunnione and of some analogues

This paper reports the investigation of the insecticidal and fungicidal activity of dunnione, a natural product obtained inadvertently as a by-product of a synthesis programme. Dunnione exhibits no insecticidal activity but has an unusually broad spectrum of antifungal activity. In vitro and in vivo (preventative) activities were comparable to those of several long-established fungicides (eg carbendazim). However, in whole-plant assays, its eradicant activity was unexpectedly low, probably due to poor dose-transfer from leaf surface to fungus. The level of residual activity appears to be influenced by the formulation. Finally, its potential as a lead structure was assessed, and several analogues synthesised which exhibited high activity in the in vitro assays. Mode-of-action studies revealed that dunnione exerts its action primarily through initiation of redox cycling. This contrasts to the activity of BTG 505, the biochemical/chemical precursor, which does not initiate redox cycling but instead exhibits both insecticidal and fungicidal activity by inhibiting mitochondrial Complex III.

Distribution and loss of phorate residues in the foliage of broad bean plants following root uptake of 14C-labelled phorate

¹⁴C-Methylene labelled phorate was added to nutrient solutions supplying the roots of young broad bean plants and after 24 h absorption, fresh nutrient was substituted. The radiolabel accumulated at the leaf margins was initially associated with solvent-soluble toxic metabolites. Radiolabel extracted from foliage which developed after the treatment was mainly in water-soluble form. The maximum concentration of toxic material occurred in the marginal areas of the leaves after 5 or 6 days and in the central portions after 2 days. The concentrations declined to half of their peak values in 4–6 days from leaf-margin tissue and in 2 days from the central tissues. Water-soluble label did not accumulate to any significant extent. Most was found in the marginal areas but concentrations built up slowly reaching a maximum after about 2 weeks, declining slowly thereafter.     

Synthesis of some acetylenic and halovinyl heterocyclic carbonyl compounds and their activity against some phytopathogenic fungi

Twenty-three acetylenic or halovinyl carbonyl compounds with heterocyclic substituents were synthesised and tested in vivo against eight phytopathogenic fungi of different taxonomic classes. Some of them were fungicidal against Uromyces appendiculatus on Phaseolus vulgaris, though none showed a wide spectrum of activity.     

The characteristics of mineral oils in relation to their inhibitory activity on the aphid transmission of potato virus Y

In greenhouse trials paraffinic mineral oils, characterized by a viscosity gravity constant (VGC) of 0.790–0.819, and with viscosities between 12 and 30 cSt at 37°C (66–150 SUS) proved to have the best aphid transmission inhibiting activity of potato virus Y to red peppers. The activity decreased rapidly with decreasing viscosities but only slowly with increasing values.Effective oils are further characterized by an unsulfonated residue (USR) of 95–100, indicating the near or total absence of aromatic structures, which are inactive and known to be phytotoxic. The paraffine-pourpoint should be below 0°C, indicating that n-paraffines do not form a very important part of the oil, since they are also inactive. Naphthenic structures seem equally inert, their percentage in the oil depending on the origin of the crude oil, because they cannot be separated from the paraffinic structures by refining procedures.Mineral oils which one commercialize for agricultural practice normally have an USR above 95 and a paraffine-pourpoint below 0°C. Therefore, the information on the classification, based on a VGC value and on the viscosity, is already sufficient to allow an evaluation of those oils of their suitability as inhibitor of the virus transmission by aphids.Samenvatting In kasproeven bleken minerale paraffine oliën, gekenmerkt door een VGC (viscositeits-dichtheidsconstante) van 0.790–0.819 en een viscositeit tussen 12 en 30 cSt bij 37°C (66–150 SUS) de beste werking te bezitten tegen de overdracht van aardappelvirus Y naar paprika door bladluizen. De werking verminderde snel bij afnemende viscositeiten beneden 12 cSt, slechts langzaam bij toenemende waarden boven 30 cSt.De minerale olie met de meest gunstige eigenschappen met betrekking tot verhindering van de virusoverdracht wordt verder nog gekenmerkt door een USR (nier-sulfoneerbare rest) van 95–100. Dit betekent het geheel of bijna geheel afwezig zijn van aromatische verbindingen, die bekend zijn om hun fytotoxische eigenschappen en bovendien niet werkzaam zijn. Het stollingspunt moet bij voorkeur onder 0°C liggen wat betekent dat n-paraffinen geen al te belangrijk bestanddeel van de olie vormen, aangezien deze eveneens onwerkzaam zijn. Naphthenische structuren bleken ook onwerkzaam te zijn. Het gehalte hiervan in de oliefractie hangt echter van de herkomst van de ruwe olie of, omdat ze niet door raffineren van de paraffinestructuren kunnen worden gescheiden.Minerale oliën die aanbevolen worden voor landbouwkundige doeleinden, bezitten normalerwijze een USR boven 95 en een stollingspunt onder 0°C. Dit betekent dat informatie over de aard der oliën op grond van een VGC waarde en over de viscositeit voldoende is om dergelijke oliën te beoordelen op hun geschiktheid de virusoverdracht door bladluizen te kunnen verhinderen.     

Persistence and degradation of chlorfenvinphos,diazinon, fonofos and phorate in soils and their uptake by carrots

Analytical methods are described for the determination of residues of chlorfenvinphos, diazinon, fonofos and phorate in soils and carrots. The insecticides, applied in June 1969 at 2 kg (a.i.)/ha, persisted longer in peaty loam than in sandy loam. After 7 months, the sandy loam contained 1% of the applied diazinon and 20–30% of the applied chlorfenvinphos, fonofos and phorate, the latter as its sulphone; the corresponding figures for the peaty loam were 10, 40–50, 40–50 and 30–40% respectively. None of the residues showed any substantial change from October to January. Although high initial concentrations (up to 50 ppm) of the residues in carrots were diluted by plant growth, it is shown that concentrations >1 ppm could be present in marketable crops 12–14 weeks after application at recommended rates. Carrots harvested 26 weeks after sowing contained <0.2 ppm of all insecticides. In contrast, during the first 15 weeks of crop growth the weights of residues in the carrots increased and remained approximately proportional to the square root of the carrot mean weight. Rates of uptake declined as carrot growth declined and subsequently the amounts of chlorfenvinphos, diazinon and fonofos residues in the carrots changed very little, while phorate sulphone steadily declined.     

DDT and pyrethroids: Receptor binding and mode of action in the house fly

The mode of action of DDT and pyrethroids was investigated in the house fly, Musca domestica L, using drug:receptor binding techniques. Both in vivo and in vitro binding studies demonstrated the existence of membrane receptors which bind specifically to [¹⁴C]DDT and [¹⁴C]cis-permethrin. The receptors show properties to be expected of a critical target site of these insecticides. These include negative temperature correlation with binding, relatively nonsensitivity to DDE, and sensitivity to Ca²⁺. The receptor sites are readily saturated at 45–90 nM [¹⁴C]DDT and have an apparent disassociation constant (K_d) of 12.2 nM. The maximum number of binding sites was estimated to be 17 pmol DDT/mg membrane protein (0.34 pmol/house fly head). Competition studies showed DDT, cis-permethrin, and cypermethrin bind to the same receptor but not at precisely the same site. The addition of Ca²⁺ to the incubation buffer significantly inhibited the binding of both [¹⁴C]DDT and [¹⁴C]cis-permethrin, suggesting the receptor binding is Ca²⁺ sensitive and may have a role in ion conductance.     

Residues of the insecticides phorate and methomyl in mint hay and oil

Since mint oil is used as a flavouring agent for foods and cosmetics, pesticide residues in the oil are undesirable. The residual behaviour of two pesticides, phorate and methomyl, was studied as replacements for chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides which leave residues in the oil. Phorate applications of 1.1 kg/ha resulted in oil residues of 0.24 mg/kg total phorate in Oregon samples and 1.69 mg/kg in Washington samples. Less than 1% of the residues in the hay distilled with the oil. Mint oil undergoes a 100- to 1000-fold dilution in commercial use with a corresponding reduction of residues in the final product. No residues of methomyl were found in the oil, even with hay residues as high as 5.34 mg/kg. Residues in hay decreased to half of initial levels in 2 to 4 days, independently of use conditions. It was concluded that the proposed use of phorate or methomyl for control of mint pests does not present a residue hazard. Details of the analytical methods used are also presented.     

Histopathological changes in the liver tissue of house mouse and common vole during sarcocytosis

The asexual reproduction of Sarcocystis dispersa was studied in the liver of the house mouse. Histopathological examinations revealed infection of parenchymal cells with the parasite and diffuse cellular infiltrations with the presence of polymorphonuclear cells, monocytes and eosinophilic leukocytes. The volume and number of cellular infiltrates increased gradually from day 3 till day 10 p.i. Then appeared necrotic foci and both phenomena reached the maximum on days 10-12 p.i. On days 21-34 p.i., no changes occurred in the tissue and the liver healed without scars. The infection of common vole with Sarcocystis cernae sporocysts caused cellular infiltrations in the liver around the portobiliary veins. The parasite was present from day 3 till day 7 p.i. The histopathological picture of liver changes was similar to that in the house mouse.     

Studies on hydrolases in various house fly strains and their role in malathion resistance

Aliesterase, carboxylesterase, and phosphorotriester hydrolase activities in six house fly strains were studied in relation to malathion resistance. Selection of two susceptible strains with malathion for three generations resulted in an increase in both carboxylesterase activity and LD₅₀ of malathion, indicating that the increased detoxication by the enzyme was the major mechanism selected for malathion resistance. With the highly resistant strains, however, the carboxylesterase activity alone was not sufficient to explain the resistance level, and the involvement of additional mechanisms, including phosphorotriester hydrolase activity, was suggested. The E₁ strain, which had high phosphorotriester hydrolase activity but normal or low carboxylesterase activity, showed a moderate level, i.e., sevenfold resistance. Upon DEAE-cellulose chromatography, two or three esterase peaks were resolved from susceptible, moderately resistant, and highly resistant strains. The substrate specificity, the sensitivity to paraoxon inhibition, and the $\text{α}\text{β}$ ratio of malathion hydrolysis were studied for each esterase peak from the different strains. The results suggested the existence of multiple forms of esterases with overlapping substrate specificity in the house fly.

Circadian dynamics of locomotor activity and deltamethrin susceptibility in the pine weevil,Hylobius abietis

Rhythmic locomotor activity and daily susceptibility to deltamethrin were tested in the pine weevil,Hylobius abietis (L.) (Coleoptera, Curculionidae), a pest of young conifer plants. In constant darkness, beetles revealed a free-running circadian pattern of locomotor activity (average period 22h : 20min). Under long photoperiod, L:D 18:6, entrainment of motor activity was observed. In the entrained population of the weevils, a peak of locomotor activity occurred at about the beginning of the dark phase, and the minimum occurred in the middle of the light phase. Fluctuations of susceptibility to a standard dose of deltamethrin (0.5 μg/g body weight) varied across the day, and were inversely correlated to the changes in locomotor activity. The importance of considering the daily organization of insect biology in studying insect resistance to pesticides is re-emphasized. 3 www.csa.com.

Antibacterial activity of two chitosan solutions and their effect on rice bacterial leaf blight and leaf streak

BACKGROUND: Bacterial leaf blight and leaf streak are the two most damaging bacterial diseases of rice. However, few bactericidal chemicals are available for controlling both diseases. The antibacterial properties of two kinds of chitosan with different molecular weights and degrees of N‐deacetylation and their effect on rice bacterial leaf blight and leaf streak were evaluated. RESULTS: Results showed that the two kinds of chitosan solution possess a strong antibacterial activity against both rice bacterial pathogens and significantly reduced disease incidence and severity by comparison with the control under greenhouse conditions. However, the interaction between chitosan and rice pathogens was affected by the type and concentration of chitosan, the bacterial species and the contact time between chitosan and bacteria. The direct antibacterial activity of chitosan may be attributed to both membrane lysis and the destruction of biofilm. In addition, both chitosan solutions significantly increased the activities of phenylalanine ammonia lyase, peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase in rice seedlings following inoculation of two rice pathogens by comparison with the control. CONCLUSION: The role of chitosan in protection of rice against bacterial pathogens has been shown to involve direct antibacterial activity and indirect induced resistance.
