Survivor: Proteins - The Effects of 2,4-D & Glyphosate on Photosynthetic Proteins of Citrus mitis
| Division: | Life Sciences | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Greater Vancouver | | City: | West Vancouver, BC | | School: | Collingwood School | | Abstract: | Will 2,4-D and Glyphosate effect protein levels of Citrus mitis? Herbicides were applied at 0.02% and 0.2% concentrations. Morphological, anatomical, SDS-PAGE, and total protein analyses were conducted. Herbicides caused flowers to fall. 2,4-D caused residue and cellular degradation. ATP synthase rose in affected plants, while other photosynthetic proteins fell. |
