  • This study was conducted to establish an efficient screening method of membrane-disrupting herbicides, based on the result that membrane leakage leading to evolution of carbonyl compounds and aldehydes could be colorimetrically assessed by formation of stable chromophores with MBTH and ferric chloride. Assay conditions including plant material, light intensity, irradiation time, concentrations of reagents for colorization, and reaction time were optimized, and activities of different types of known herbicides were investigated with cucumber cotyledon discs. That result indicated that this assay was sensitive to membrane-disrupting herbicides, such as protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitors (acifluorfen, oxyfluorfen, oxadiazon) and an electron interceptor from photosystem I(paraquat). With seven compounds newly synthesized, highly positive correlation was observed between herbicidal activities measured by greenhouse bioassay and MBTH method. Because only a single disc(4 mm diameter) from cucumber cotyledon in 60 ${\mu}L$ of incubation solution was required to assay, a large number of herbicides could be tested simultaneously using 96-well microtitre plates. But the assay efficiency is not likely to significantly increase because of the boiling step during the reaction.

  • To establish simple and reliable screening method for resistant radish to Plasmodiophora brassicae Woron. using soil-drenching inoculation, the development of clubroot on radish seedlings inoculated with P. brassicae GN-1 isolate according to several conditions such as inoculum concentration, plant growth stage and incubation period after inoculation was studied. To select resistant radish against clubroot, 10-day-old seedlings were inoculated with P. brassicae by drenching the roots with the spore suspension of the pathogen to give $1{\times}10^9$ spores/pot. The inoculated seedlings were incubated in a growth chamber at $20^{\circ}C$ for 3 days then cultivated in a greenhouse ($20{\pm}5^{\circ}C$) for 6 weeks. Under the optimum conditions, 46 commercial cultivars of radish were tested for resistance to YC-1 (infecting 15 clubroot-resistant cultivars of Chinese cabbage) and GN-1 (wild type) isolates of P. brassicae. Among them, thirty-five cultivars showed resistance to both isolates and one cultivar represented susceptible response to the pathogens. On the other hand, the other cultivars showed different responses against the tested P. brassicae pathogens. The results suggest that this method is an efficient system for screening radish with resistance to clubroot.
