The effect of γ-ketotriazole, MCPA and carbaryl on the lipid composition and ATPase activity associated with plasma membrane fractions from rice (Oryza sativa cv Bahia) shoots was investigated. With γ-ketotriazole and MCPA treatments the relative amount of δ5-avenasterol (%) was reduced in the plasma membrane, whereas with γ-ketotriazole a reduction was also found in the sitosterol content, expressed as a percentage of the total free sterol composition. The fatty acyl chain length of phosphatidylcholine fractions from MCPA-treated plants was also reduced. The plasma membrane Mg2+-ATPase activity was only stimulated in MCPA-treated plants. No changes were observed in lipid composition or ATPase activity with carbaryl treatment.
