Abstract

In maize mitochondria the effect of the herbicide amiprophosmethyl was studied on massive and limited Ca2+-loading and on mitochondrial energy transduction. Under massive Ca2+-loading conditions amiprophosmethyl inhibited the Ca2+ transport system directly without a significant effect on the respiratory chain, the membrane potential or Ca2+ efflux. Under limited Ca2+-loading conditions an increased Ca2+ efflux was noted, which could be partially responsible for the inhibition of the net Ca2+ accumulation.
