DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Metabolic Fate of Herbicides in Plants Consideration of the chemical-plant interaction is incomplete without a comp'le mentary knowledge of what the plant does to the herbicide as a result of metabolic and chemical processes occurring in the plant. Studies of herbicide physiology and biochemistry must take into account not only what the variations from normal plant metabolism may be but also what modifications are induced in the structure of the herbicide molecule as a result of metabolic reactions in plant cells and tissues. The mechanism of action of an herbicide and its metabolic fate are interdependent. Altera tions of chemical structure at the plant surface or Within the tissues and their com ponent cells may influence or determine the mechanism through which a lethal reaction is brought about.
