Herbicides Inhibiting Branched-Chain Amino Acid Biosynthesis: Recent Developments

by Jörg Stetter (Editor), H.M. Brown (Contribution by), J.C. Cotterman (Contribution by), M.W. Drewes (Contribution by), G.J. DeBoer (Contribution by)

Overview

Chemicals inhibiting the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids form a new and promising class of herbicides. This volume discusses in an authoritative way recent developments in this field and covers important aspects of these potent herbicides (synthesis, structure-activity, mode of action, selectivity, weed resistance, metabolism).
