Uptake, Translocation, and Distribution of Cyantraniliprole in a Wheat Planting System.

Cyantraniliprole uptake, translocation, and distribution in wheat plants grown in hydroponics and soil conditions were investigated. The hydroponics experiment indicated that cyantraniliprole was prone to be absorbed by wheat roots mainly through the apoplastic pathway and predominately distributed in the cell-soluble fraction (81.4-83.6%) and ultimately transferred upward to leaves (TF = 4.84 > TF = 0.67). In wheat-soil systems, the uptake of cyantraniliprole was similar to that in hydroponics. The accumulation of cyantraniliprole in wheat tissues was mainly affected by the content of soil organic matter and clay, resulting in the increased adsorption of cyantraniliprole onto soils ( > 0.991, < 0.01), and was positively related to the concentration of cyantraniliprole in soil pore water ( > 0.991, < 0.001). Besides, the absorption of cyantraniliprole by wheat was predicted well by the partition-limited model. These results increased our understanding of the absorption and accumulation of cyantraniliprole in wheat and were also helpful for guiding the practical application and risk evaluation of cyantraniliprole.
