Benzoxazinones: Cyclic hydroxamic acids found in plants

  • Conference paper
Residue Reviews

Part of the book series: Residue Reviews ((RECT,volume 64))

Abstract

The benzoxazinones are naturally occurring cyclic hydroxamic acids found in numerous plant species. Their possible role in insect and disease resistance, and detoxication of the triazine herbicides, has aroused scientific interest in several disciplines.
