Abstract:Glutathione conjugation reactions are one of the principal mechanisms that plants utilize to detoxify herbicides. The expression of a previously isolated glutathione transporter gene, ZmGT1, was studied in leaves of three different maize cultivars after treatment by three different herbicides. The results showed that ZmGT1 expression in the Nongda108 cultivar was induced by atrazine and metolachlor, but not by 2,4-D. The inducing effect of metolachlor on ZmGT1 expression varied between cultivars, and correlated positively with the tolerance of the cultivars to this herbicide. It is suggested that ZmGT1 is also involved in the detoxification of xenobiotics by plants.
