| The Herbicide Command Does Not Inhibit the Prenyl Diphosphate-Forming Enzymes in Plastids  | | | | Abstract
| The herbicide Comm and (2-(2-chlorophenyl)m ethyl-4,4-dim ethyl-3-isoxazolidinone) does not affect the in vitro activities o f the plastid enzymes catalyzing the steps leading from isopen tenyl diphosphate to geranylgeranyl diphosphate and phytoene, i.e. the isopentenyl diphos phate isomerase, prenyl transferase and phytoene synthase. The extractable activities o f these enzymes in herbicide-treated seedlings are also not affected. Nevertheless, the synthesis o f chlorophylls and carotenoids in treated seedlings is severely inhibited in vivo. The mode o f action o f Comm and remains still unknown. | | | |
