Abstract:
Exposure of plumules of intact maize seedlings (Zea mays L.) to S-methyl-N-[(methylcarbamoyl)-oxy]thioacetimidate (methomyl) represses synthesis of several polypeptides normally made under control conditions and induces synthesis of polypeptides similar to maize heat shock polypeptides (HSPs). Three of the methomyl-induced polypeptides (18 kilodaltons) are recognized by antibodies raised against 18 kilodalton maize heat shock polypeptides.
