The changes in some biochemical parameters in Zea mays cv. "Martha F1" treated with atrazine.
In this study, Zea mays cv. "Martha F1" plant was treated with post-emergence atrazine in a concentration range of 27-226mM. The effects of post-emergence atrazine treatments upon peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase, and lipid peroxidation were investigated on the 1st, 5th, 10th, and 15th days following the treatment. In the treatment groups, peroxidase activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content decreased after the 10th day, while ascorbate peroxidase activity was observed to decrease on the 15th day.
