| Inhibition of Phytoene Desaturase — the Mode of Action of Certain Bleaching Herbicides  | | | | Abstract
| Assay systems have been developed in order to differentiate betw een the m odes o f action o f certain bleaching herbicides. These include inhibition o f chlorophyll or carotenoid biosynthesis, and initiation o f pigment degradation. H erbicidal com pounds with phytoene desaturase as their primary target site were investigated in a cell-free carotenogenic system from Aphanocapsa. In a comparative study, the structural prerequisites for inh ib ition o f phytoene desaturase were estab lished for both benzophenone analogs and various m -phenoxybenzam ides. This inhibitory action o f the latter compounds is enhanced by lipophilic groups with certain steric properties. | | | |
