RESUMO
The effect of quinone herbicides and fungicides on photosynthetic reactions in isolated spinach (Spinacia oleracea) chloroplasts was investigated. 2,3-Dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone (dichlone), 2-amino-3-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinone (06K-quinone), and 2,3,5,6-tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone (chloranil) inhibited ferricyanide reduction as well as ATP formation. Benzoquinone had little or no effect on these reactions. The two reactions showed a differential sensitivity to these inhibitors. Dichlone was a strong inhibitor of both photosystems I and II; photosystem I was more sensitive to 06K-quinone than was photosystem II, whereas the reverse was true of chloranil. Chloranil and 06K-quinone inhibited ferricyanide reduction and the coupled photophosphorylation to the same extent, whereas dichlone affected photophosphorylation to a greater extent than the ferricyanide reduction.
