Antioxidant detoxification system of wheat and ryegrass plants subjected to various herbicides

Herbicide promotes physiological and biochemical changes even in tolerant species. The objective of this study was to evaluate the interference of the herbicides clodinafop-propargyl and 2,4-D in the antioxidant system of wheat, and iodosulfuron-methyl in wheat and ryegrass. Two studies, divided into three experiments, were conducted in an entirely randomized design in a greenhouse and phytotron. The first study tested herbicides iodosulfuron-methyl, clodinafop-propargyl, 2,4-D, and a control without application in wheat. The second, divided into two experiments with wheat and ryegrass, tested iodosulfuron-methyl doses (0, 1.75, 3.5, and 7.0 g a.i. ha-1). The variables analyzed were the concentrations of chlorophylls a, b, carotenoids, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), lipid peroxidation (TBARS), electrolyte leakage, and antioxidant system activity. The herbicide treatments iodosulfuron-methyl, clodinafop-propargyl, and 2,4-D decreased the concentrations of chlorophylls and carotenoids in wheat plants. The herbicides promoted oxidative stress with increased H2O2 and TBARS concentrations. Increasing the dose of iodosulfuron-methyl provided a reduction in the activity of the enzymatic antioxidant system in wheat and ryegrass. RESUMO: A aplicação de herbicidas promove alterações fisiológicas e bioquímicas mesmo nas espécies tolerantes. O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a interferência dos herbicidas clodinafop-propargyl e 2,4-D no sistema antioxidante do trigo, e iodosulfuron-methyl em trigo e azevém. Dois estudos, divididos em três experimentos, foram conduzidos em delineamento inteiramente casualizado em casa de vegetação e fitotron. O primeiro estudo testou os herbicidas iodosulfuron-methyl, clodinafop-propargyl, 2,4-D, e testemunha sem aplicação em trigo. O segundo, dividido em dois experimentos com trigo e azevém, testou doses de iodosulfuron-methyl doses (0, 1,75, 3,5, and 7,0 g i.a. ha-1). As variáveis analisadas foram as concentrações de clorofilas a, b, carotenoides, peróxido de hidrogênio (H2O2), peroxidação lipídica (TBARS), extravazamento de eletrólitos e atividade do sistema antioxidante. O uso dos herbicidas iodosulfuron-methyl, clodinafop-propagyl e 2,4-D diminuíram o teor de clorofilas e carotenoides nas plantas de trigo. Os herbicidas promovem estresse oxidativo com aumento no teor de H2O2, TBARS e extravasamento de eletrólitos. O aumento da dose do iodosulfuron-methyl proporciona redução da atividade do sistema antioxidante enzimático no trigo e azev
