Publication Open Access Fermentation and alternative oxidase contribute to the action of amino acid biosynthesis-inhibiting herbicides(Elsevier, 2015) Zulet González, Amaia; Gil Monreal, Miriam; Zabalza Aznárez, Ana; Dongen, Joost T. van; Royuela Hernando, Mercedes; Ciencias del Medio Natural; Natura Ingurunearen Zientziak; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaAcetolactate synthase inhibitors (ALS-inhibitors) and glyphosate (GLP) are two classes of herbicide that act by the specific inhibition of an enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway of branched-chain or aromatic amino acids, respectively. The physiological effects that are detected after application of these two classes of herbicides are not fully understood in relation to the primary biochemical target inhibition, although they have been well documented. Interestingly, the two herbicides’ toxicity includes some common physiological effects suggesting that they kill the treated plants by a similar pattern despite targeting different enzymes. The induction of aerobic ethanol fermentation and alternative oxidase (AOX) are two examples of these common effects. The objective of this work was to gain further insight into the role of fermentation and AOX induction in the toxic consequences of ALS-inhibitors and GLP. For this, Arabidopsis T-DNA knockout mutants of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) 1 and AOX1a were used. The results found in wild-type indicate that both GLP and ALS-inhibitors reduce ATP production by inducing fermentation and alternative respiration. The main physiological effects in the process of herbicide activity upon treated plants were accumulation of carbohydrates and total free amino acids. The effects of the herbicides on these parameters were less pronounced in mutants compared to wild-type plants. The role of fermentation and AOX regarding pyruvate availability is also discussed.Publication Open Access La sobreexpresión del gen ALDH7B4 alivia los efectos provocados por herbicidas inhibidores de la biosíntesis de aminoácidos(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2017) Gil Monreal, Miriam; Zabalza Aznárez, Ana; Missihoun, Tagnon D.; Bartels, Dorothea; Royuela Hernando, Mercedes; Ciencias del Medio Natural; Natura Ingurunearen Zientziak; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaEn este trabajo se ha profundizado en el conocimiento de los efectos fisiológicos provocados por los herbicidas imazamox y glifosato. En concreto, se ha estudiado el papel de la ALDH7B4, aldehído deshidrogenasa, que contribuye a la tolerancia de las plantas a diversos estreses. Se cultivaron plantas de Arabidopsis thaliana silvestres y plantas que sobreexpresan el gen ALDH7B4, que fueron tratadas con dosis comparables de imazamox o glifosato. Se observó que ambos genotipos presentan valores similares de malondialdehído, indicando que la ALDH7B4 no participa en la detoxificación de aldehídos derivados de la peroxidación lipídica. Por otro lado, se monitorizaron los principales efectos fisiológicos provocados por este tipo de herbicidas y se observó que los efectos de los herbicidas (contenido en carbohidratos y crecimiento) se atenúan en las plantas mutantes, indicando que la ALDH7B4 contribuye a aliviar los efectos provocados por estos herbicidas.
