The inhibitory action of four herbicides (atrazine, dalapon, molinate, propanil) on the membrane transport of sulfate by excised roots was evaluated in tolerant (Oryza sativa) and susceptible (Pisum sativum, Hordeum vulgare) cultivated species, and in a tolerant and susceptible variety of a weed (Brassica rapa). A parallelism between the response of the root transport activity and the general response of the genotype was ascertained, irrespective of the metabolic target of the herbicide. The inhibition mechanism of sulfate uptake was either competitive, non competitive, or uncompetitive, but this aspect was not correlated with the response of the genotype to the herbicide. The kinetics of absorption of ('14)C atrazine by excised roots and by chloroplasts of Brassica rapa were strictly related: the amount of atrazine binding to roots and to chloroplasts was higher in the susceptible than in the resistant variety. The level of atrazine inhibition of sulfate transport in roots was correlated to that of the Hill reaction; both were higher in the susceptible variety. The membrane transport within the roots appears to summarize and anticipate the metabolic response of genotypes to herbicides
