Abstract Dichlormid, a safener for thiolcarbamate herbicides, was tank-mixed with several herbicidal inhibitors of photosystem II, or with the herbicide acifluorfen, and applied postemergence to Ipomoea hederacea plants. Dichlormid had no visible effects on the plants when applied alone, but interacted synergistically with the herbicides in the combination treatments. Dichlormid strongly decreased the ascorbic acid levels in the Ipomoea hederacea cotyledons. Ascorbate is known to protect plant tissue from photooxidative damage. The herbicides which interacted synergistically with dichlormid are believed to generate their phytotoxic action via the production of excess singlet oxygen. It is suggested that the decreased ascorbate levels in the Ipomoea hederacea cotyledons after dichlormid treatment result in an impaired singlet oxygen scavenging system and consequently lead to increased plant damage in the presence of singlet oxygen generating herbicides.

A method for retrieving the absorption coefficients of Spirulina platensis pigments using absorption spectra of native cells and excluding the use of extracts is considered. Estimates of the intracellular concentration of chlorophyll a, С-phycoerythrin, С- phycocyanin and allophycocyanin in native cells are discussed.
