Sites of Action of Herbicides in Amino Acid Metabolism: Primary and Secondary Physiological Effects

  • Chapter
Plant Nitrogen Metabolism

Part of the book series: Recent Advances in Phytochemistry ((RAPT,volume 23))

Abstract

Plants can synthesize everything they need to survive, including amino acids. The interrelationships of amino acid regulation and coordination with other metabolic processes has been studied for many years. One of the obstacles in this research has been the inability to probe individual pathways. Such obstacles preclude the understanding of the integration of these various pathways. An analogous situation existed for research on photosynthetic light reactions, and major advances in photosynthesis research were made with the discovery of potent, specific inhibitors of these pathways.
