Abstract

The absorption, transport, and subcellular distribution of strobilurin fungicides (azoxystrobin, pyraclostrobin, and trifloxystrobin) have been studied in cucumbers. Under hydroponic laboratory conditions, pyraclostrobin and trifloxystrobin mainly accumulated in cucumber roots whereas azoxystrobin accumulated in cucumber leaves. In the subcellular distribution experiment, azoxystrobin mainly accumulated as a soluble component. Pyraclostrobin and trifloxystrobin accumulated more in the organelles and cell walls. Azoxystrobin and pyraclostrobin enter the root primarily through the apoplast pathway, whereas trifloxystrobin enters the root through the symplastic pathway. Azoxystrobin can be transported in cucumber through anion and cation channels, whereas pyraclostrobin and trifloxystrobin can be transported only through anion channels. This study has great significance in evaluating environmental risks and food safety.
