Glyphosate treatment mediates the accumulation of small discrete 5^′ and 3^′-terminal fragments of 18S rRNA in plant cells by A. V. Zhigailov, A. S. Nizkorodova, K. O. Sharipov, N. S. Polimbetova, B. K. Iskakov

“…In the present work, we studied the induction of 18S rRNA discrete fragmentation and phosphorylation of the α-subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2α) in germinated wheat embryos in the presence of glyphosate, which imitates the condition of amino acid starvation. Using northern and western blotting, we have shown that stress-induced 18S rRNA fragments started to accumulate in wheat embryos at glyphosate concentrations that did not evoke eIF2α phosphorylation. …”
