An ABC transporter-mediated transport and metabolism of the pesticide bentazone in rice (Oryza sativa L.).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Bentazon (BNTZ) is a selective contact herbicide widely used to control field weeds for crop production. Excessive use of BNTZ leads to its accumulation in soils and crops, becoming an environmental contaminant. Therefore, investigation of the mechanisms for BNTZ detoxification and degradation in crops is fundamentally important to reduce crop contamination and ensure food safety.

Objectives

This study aims to elucidate the mechanism of detoxification and degradation pathways of the BNTZ complex in rice by creating transgenic lines expressing a rice ATP-binding cassette (OsABC) transporter gene through genetic engineering techniques combined with chemical analytical techniques and metabolomics approaches.

Methods

We established the rice transgenic lines o
