Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) with two isoforms, chloroplast-targeted (PPO1) and mitochondrial-targeted (PPO2), catalyzes a step in the biosynthesis of chlorophyll and heme. PPO1 and PPO2 are herbicide target sites of PPO-inhibiting herbicides. Target-site mutations conferring resistance to PPO inhibitors have all thus far been in PPO2. Oxadiazon is a unique PPO inhibitor utilized for preemergence...
