Plant Lipid Biosynthesis as Target for Biocides

  • H. K. Lichtenthaler
Chapter

Abstract

The research on potential inhibitors, herbicides and xenobiotics of plant lipid biosynthesis is not only a matter of general interest for agronomists and those concerned with crop protection but also for the plant biochemist, since active inhibitors represent essential tools for the characterization and better understanding of those metabolic processes and pathways which are involved in the biosynthesis of plant lipids. Theoretically all steps in plant lipid biosynthesis could be a target of inhibitors. However, only a few herbicide groups of plant lipid biosynthesis are known today. This review summarizes our present knowledge of the different types of xenobiotica and their mode of interaction with plant lipid biosynthesis.
