The proportion of specific metabolites of the herbicide diphenamid was markedly altered in studies at the Metabolism and Radiation Research Laboratory, Fargo, North Dakota, when tomato plants were fumigated with low levels of ozone. Exposure to this pollutant had little effect on root absorption, translocation, or the conversion of diphenamid to water-soluble metabolites. Diphenamid is normally metabolized in tomato plants by bonding to glucose to form a beta-glucoside in the first 24 hours. Tomatoes that had been fumigated with ozone did not form the normal amount of the beta-glucoside. Instead, the predominant metabolite found in the first 24 hours was beta-gentiobioside.
