L-Phosphinothricin

Catalog No.: A74989
Herbicide
L-Phosphinothricin is a potent inhibitor of glutamine synthetase and functions as a non-selective herbicide. By competitively inhibiting this enzyme, it leads to the accumulation of toxic ammonium ions in both plants and bacteria, thereby disrupting the photosynthesis process. L-Phosphinothricin demonstrates effective herbicidal activity against a wide range of plant species, including both monocots and dicots. This compound is predominantly absorbed through plant leaves, exhibits minimal translocation, and is rapidly degraded by soil microorganisms, making it valuable for research in weed management across agricultural and non-crop environments.
