Fomesafen is the ISO common name [2] for an organic compound used as an herbicide. It acts by inhibiting the enzyme protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) [3] which is necessary for chlorophyll synthesis. Soybeans naturally have a high tolerance to fomesafen, [3] [4] via metabolic disposal by glutathione S-transferase.
Clomazone was first registered by the USEPA on March 8, 1993, and was commercialized by FMC Corporation. It is used for broadleaf weed control in several crops, including soybeans, peas, maize, oilseed rape, sugar cane, cassava, pumpkins and tobacco. [1] It may be applied pre-emergence of incorporated before planting the crop.
The Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) classifies herbicides by their mode of action (MoA) to provide a uniform way for farmers and growers to identify the agents they use and better manage pesticide resistance around the world. [1] [2] It is run by CropLife International [3] in conjunction with the Weed Science Society of America ...
The plasmid used to move the gene into soybeans was PV-GMGTO4. It contained three bacterial genes, two CP4 EPSPS genes, and a gene encoding beta-glucuronidase (GUS) from Escherichia coli as a marker. The DNA was injected into the soybeans using the particle-acceleration method or "gene gun". Soybean cultivar A54O3 was used for the transformation.
Pyroxasulfone is a pre-emergence herbicide that inhibits the production of very long chain fatty acids in plants. The structure of the existing herbicide thiobencarb served as the basis for development but pyroxasulfone requires a lower dose (100–25 g/ha) and is more stable resulting in longer efficacy.
Of the 295 pesticides initially assessed, they identified 22 with consistent links to prostate cancer, including widely used herbicides like 2,4-D and a mix of fungicides, insecticides, and a soil ...
