clude the Boardman Yellow
Jackets on the Bees home court

How 2,4-D Kills
Plants Reported
By Ag Chemists
Using radioactive carbon dio
xide as a tracer, Two Oregon
State college agricultural chem
ists have mapped out a pathway
through which 2,4-D kills plants.
S. C. Fang and Joseph Butts re
port that 2,4-D slows the trans
portation of sulfates and phos
phates within plants. These two
chemicals are essential ingred
ients for plant life.
The exact pattern of the slow
down hasn't been discovered as
yet. But it has been shown that
the effect is a strangulation of
the plant's ability to convert
and proteins necessary for plant
life.
The two men also studied other
physical and chemical plant fun
ctions to find if they are affect
ed by the 2,4-D. They found that
photosynathesis the conversion
of carbon dioxide and water into
starch was affected, but the up
take of nutrients from the soil
was left undisturbed.

Some hints as to the form the

strangulation pattern may take
is revealed in research being car
ried on by a group headed by
LeMar F. Remmert, 'another OSC
agricultural chemist. This group
has been studying the effects of
2,4-D on the complex chemical
reactions that take place inside
individual plant sells.
So far, they have found that at
least one of the soluble enzymes
(proteins that help chemical
changes take place within the
cell) is prevented from doing its
normal job by the 2,4-D. The job
now facing the scientists is to
find out exactly which enzyme
or enzymes are affected so meth
ods can be worked out to control
the strangulation effect more
precisely and efficiently.
