Description:
Bromoxynil is a nitrile herbicide that is used for post-emergent control of annual broadleaf weeds. It is especially effective in the control of weeds in cereal, corn, sorghum, onions, flax and mint. This bromoxynil derivative can be used for selective release in GUS-positive plant systems, in a tissue specific manner. The compound works by inhibiting photosynthesis in the target plants. This beta-glucuronide derivative lacks activity until acted upon by intracellular beta-glucuronidase (cloned with the GUS marker gene). Additional ester groups help with cell permeation of this herbicide derivative.
