Zur Wirkung von s-Triazinen auf Gewebe gesunder und virusinfizierter Kartoffelknollen

Abstract

Summary Germ-free tissue cuts from healthy and virus infected potato tubers died after treatment with s-Triazine compounds. It is therefore rather improbable, that the impairment of the photosynthesis, which has been observed in green parts of plants after application of s-Triazine compounds, represents the essential or even the solitary cause of the herbicide effect. The insignificant differences in the reactions to s-Triazines by tissues of healthy and virus infected tubers can hardly be suitable as a basis for the development of techniques for virus diagnosis.
