As important chemical pesticides, protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO, EC 1.3.3.4) herbicides play a vital role in weed management. Herein, in a search for novel PPO herbicides, a series of phenoxypyridine-2-pyrrolidinone derivatives were synthesized and their herbicidal activities were tested. To
We conducted biochemical and physiological experiments to investigate the mode of action of tiafenacil (Terrad'or™), a new protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase (PPO)-inhibiting pyrimidinedione herbicide. Analysis of the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) against recombinant PPO enzymes
A facultative, microbial micro-community colonizing roots of Abutilon theophrasti Medik. supports the plant in detoxifying hydroxylated benzoxazolinones. The root micro-community is composed of several fungi and bacteria with Actinomucor elegans as a dominant species. The yeast Papiliotrema baii and
A series of novel diphenyl ether derivatives containing unsaturated carboxylates were designed and synthesized. Their structures were identified by (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance and elemental analyses. The bioassays indicated that the compounds 5b and 5c exhibited good herbicidal activities
The mode of action of 2-(7-fluoro-3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-6-yl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-isoindoline-1,3-diones, including the commercial herbicide flumioxazin, had been identified as inhibition of protoporphyrinogen oxidase (protox). As part of continuous efforts to search for new
Thaxtomins are a unique family of phytotoxins with unique 4-nitroindole and diketopiperazine fragments possessing potential herbicidal activities. This work presents the total synthesis of natural product thaxtomin C and its analogues. The extensive structure-activity relationship study screens four
