The effect of the herbicide safener mefenpyr-diethyl on glutathione S -transferase (GST, EC 2.5.1.18) activities of dark-grown barley (Hordeum vulgare cv. Alexis) was examined. Mefenpyr-diethyl treatment increased the GST activity with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) and the herbicide fenoxaprop as substrates. Glutathione (GSH) peroxidase activity was markedly increased. GST subunits were analysed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The quantities of two major subunits were increased by the safener treatment, while the quantities of two other major subunits remained constant. A cDNA encoding the most abundant inducible GST (HvGST6) was cloned and expressed in E. coli . The purified enzyme exhibited a low activity with herbicides as substrates. By contrast, it exhibited a strong GSH peroxidase activity.
