In all plant species tested, increasing concentrations of phytohormones produced responses falling on a physiologic curve from minimum through optimum to maximum which, if exceeded, led to injury and death. Indolyl-acetic acid, its butyric and propionic homologues, naphthylacetic acid, their salts, and mixtures gave similar results. Treating seeds with hormones incorporated in adsorbent dust stimulated both root and top growth markedly, with less danger of overdosage than in solution treatment. Dosages equivalent to 50 to 250 mg. per acre applied as dilute solutions to soil growing young lettuce and tomato plants covered the optimum range of stimulation to growth. Dust treatment of cuttings proved very convenient and successful in inducing rooting, the plants again showing a wider range of tolerance to dusts than to solutions. Fermentation of sugar by yeast responded to hormone stimulation. Various practical applications are discussed.

The effects of photoperiod and temperature on the translocation of triclopyr {[1(3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinyl)oxy] acetic acid}, picloram (4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid) and 2,4,5-T [(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)acetic acid] were studied on tanoak [Lithocarpus densiflorus(Hook. & Arn.) Rehd.], snowbush ceanothus (Ceanothus velutinusDougl.), bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllumPursh), bean (Phaseolus vulgarisL. var. ‘Red Kidney’) and barley (Hordeum vulgareL. var. CM-67). Isolation of14C and analysis for the radioactive herbicides revealed little metabolism of the herbicides. Regardless of herbicide or plant species herbicide movement was greatest under warm temperature and long day conditions. Among the herbicides tested,14C associated with triclopyr was the most mobile in each species. Each herbicide moved readily in the symplast but root applications of each herbicide revealed limited apoplastic mobility.

The amount of free, unaltered (2,4-dichlorophenoxy) acetic acid (2,4-D) in resistant and susceptible plant species 1, 4, and 8 days after treatment was determined by three procedures. Centrifugation and chromatography of plant homogenates was a more reliable assay than trichloroacetic acid (TCA) precipitation or dialysis procedures. The foliar penetration of 14C-2-4-D and radioactivity which moved from roots into the growth media following foliar application of 14C-2,4-D varied from one plant species to another, but no general correlations with 2,4-D resistance was observed. The resistant burcucumber (Sicyos angulatus L.) and oats (Avena sativa L.) were not fatally injured primarily because unaltered 2,4-D was immobilized in the treated leaves and unaltered, free 2,4-D was reduced to nontoxic concentrations. The 2,4-D in susceptible cocklebur (Xanthium sp.) remained largely as free and mobile 2,4-D, and the treated plants were near death 8 days after treatment.

Heavy metals (HMs) stress causes severe damage to physiology and biochemistry of plant species leading to stunted growth and low yield. Phytoremediation via phytoextraction, a viable low-cost and environment-friendly alternative to other techniques that are often too expensive, impractical and hazardous. However, phytoextraction potential, physiological and biochemical response of various plant species against HMs stress is not fully understood. Among other HMs, lead (Pb) is an inorganic pollutant with deleterious biotic effects. Bioavailability and mobility of the Pb can be enhanced by addition of organic acids. A pot scale experiment was done to assess the effects of Pb on Alternanthera bettzickiana (Regel) G. Nicholson and its ability to accumulate Pb with or without acetic acid (AA). The Results showed that Pb caused significant damage in A. bettzickiana, and its ecotoxicity was evident from increased levels of lipid peroxidation up to 107% under Pb stress. The significant decrease in plant height (32%), root length (21%), leaf area (38%) and number of leaves per plant (46%) was observed. On the other hand, application of AA to Pb stressed plants reduced the oxidative damage by further enhancing the activities of ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and catalases (CAT) up to 16% and 21% respectively. Moreover, addition of AA significantly improved plant total chlorophylls (15%) and carotenoids (50%). The application of AA also promoted Pb accumulation in leaf, stem and roots up to 70%, 65% and 66% respectively. This research concluded that AA has the ability to enhance the phytoextraction of Pb and support the plant growth and physiology under Pb stress condition.

Leaf methanol extract ofC. orbiculataL. was investigated for antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities using acetic acid writhing and hot-plate tests and carrageenan-induced oedema test in mice and rats, respectively.C. orbiculata(100–400 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly inhibited acetic acid-induced writhing and significantly delayed the reaction time of mice to the hot-plate-induced thermal stimulation. Paracetamol (300 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly inhibited the acetic acid-induced writhing in mice. Morphine (10 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly delayed the reaction time of mice to the thermal stimulation produced with hot plate. Leaf methanol extract ofC. orbiculata(50–400 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly attenuated the carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema. Indomethacin (10 mg/kg, p.o.) also significantly attenuated the carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema. The LD50value obtained for the plant species was greater than 4000 mg/kg (p.o.). The data obtained indicate thatC. orbiculatahas antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities, justifying the folklore use of the plant species by traditional medicine practitioners in the treatment of painful and inflammatory conditions. The relatively high LD50obtained shows thatC. orbiculatamay be safe in or nontoxic to mice.
