Effects of Glyphosate on Protein Synthesis in Seedlings of Weed Hyptis suaveolens L."

Agrochemical glyphosate is extensively used to control broadleaf weeds and grasses in public spaces, gardens, and agricultural lands.The most apparent effects of glyphosate are more or less the synthesis of protein content.The application of glyphosate in the required amount affects the synthesis of protein in plants.For the present study weed plant Hyptis suaveolens L. was utilized to investigate protein synthesis activity by the application of glyphosate.During the study, Hyptis suaveolens L. seeds were treated with various amounts of glyphosate at room temperature for 24 hours and allowed to grow in petri dishes.The results reveal that glyphosate steadily lowers seedling protein content from low to high concentrations compared to the control.
