PPO Inhibitors as a Key Focus in Herbicide Discovery

2026-03-03

Abstract excerpt

As the key enzyme catalyzing the final step in the biosynthesis of heme and chlorophyll, protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) has become a crucial target for herbicide development. To date, more than 40 PPO-inhibiting herbicides have been developed, exhibiting multiple advantageous characteristics: they combine high efficacy with environmental friendliness, feature low effective concentrations, rapid action, long-last...
