  2. Atrazine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrazine

    Atrazine is a chlorinated herbicide of the triazine class. [2] It is used to prevent pre-emergence broadleaf weeds in crops such as maize (corn), [3] soybean [3] and sugarcane and on turf, such as golf courses and residential lawns.

  3. Atrazine chlorohydrolase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrazine_chlorohydrolase

    Atrazine Chlorohydrolase (AtzA) is an enzyme (E.C.3.8.1.8), [1] which catalyzes the conversion of atrazine to hydroxyatrazine. Bacterial degradation determines the environmental impact and efficacy of an herbicide or pesticide. Initially, most pesticides are highly effective and show minimal bacterial degradation; however, bacteria can rapidly ...

  4. Enzyme promiscuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enzyme_promiscuity

    Enzyme promiscuity is the ability of an enzyme to catalyze an unexpected side reaction in addition to its main reaction. Although enzymes are remarkably specific catalysts, they can often perform side reactions in addition to their main, native catalytic activity.

  5. Herbicide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbicide

    Surfactants alter the physical properties of the spray solution and the overall phytotoxicity of the herbicide, increasing translocation. Herbicide safeners enhance the selectivity by boosting herbicide resistance by the crop but allowing the herbicide to damage the weed. Selectivity is determined by the circumstances and technique of application.

  7. Terbuthylazine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terbuthylazine

    Terbuthylazine is a selective herbicide.Chemically, it is a halogenated triazine; compared with atrazine (1958 inv., Geigy lab) and simazine, it has a tert-butyl group [()] in place of the isopropyl [()] and ethyl group, respectively.

  8. Shikimate pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikimate_pathway

    The shikimate pathway (shikimic acid pathway) is a seven-step metabolic pathway used by bacteria, archaea, fungi, algae, some protozoans, and plants for the biosynthesis of folates and aromatic amino acids (tryptophan, phenylalanine, and tyrosine).

  9. Xenoestrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenoestrogen

    Atrazine is the second largest selling pesticide in the world and estimated to be the most heavily used herbicide in the United States. [14] Atrazine has been implicated in interfering with the neuroendocrine system, blocking the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) which in turn reduces luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle ...
