Abstract

Mode of action of atrazine in plant is to interrupt the electron transport in the process of photosynthesis process as the result of free radicals causing a peroxidation reaction with fatty acid of the cell membrane. For decreasing the toxicity of herbicides and reducing the damage caused by oxidation of oxygen, plants have a mechanism to protect themselves by synthesizing antioxidant enzymes. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to study the efficiency of electron transport in photosynthetic process of 5 varieties of mungbeans (namely, CNMB, CN84-1, KPS-2, KU4 and KU8) on response to residual atrazine in the soil at concentrations of 13.16, 23.42, 43.64, 89.56, 154.17, 308.16 and 612.59 milligrams per kilogram of soil. In addition, the activities of antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione S-transferase (GST), superoxide dismutase (SOD), guaiacol peroxidase (GPX) and catalase (CAT) were investigated. The result showed that electron transport in photosynthetic process in all mungbean varieties had decreased, when the concentrations of atrazine increased. By synthesizing an elevated GST and CAT enzymes, CN84-1 could tolerate to residual atrazine at the concentration around 23.42 milligrams per kilogram of soil.
