Glufosinate ammonium
Catalog No. A75277

Glufosinate ammonium is a phosphinic acid analogue of glutamic acid, primarily functioning as a herbicide. Upon uptake by plant cells, it is converted into L-phosphinothricin (PT), which disrupts amino acid synthesis, leading to the inhibition of protein synthesis. This compound demonstrates neurotoxic effects, making it significant in studies related to herbicidal activity and plant defense mechanisms. Its applications extend to agricultural research and the investigation of herbicide resistance in crops.
