Description

General description

Glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine) (sold commercially as Roundup) is the most widely used broad-spectrum systemic herbicide in the world. Consequently, the environmental effects of glyphosphate and its mechanism of action are an important area of active research.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glyphosate (N-[phosphonomethyl] glycine) is the herbicide form of the isopropylamine salt of glyphosate.

Glyphosphate inhibits the shikimate pathway-dependent synthesis of the aromatic amino acids tyrosine, tryptophan and phenylalanine at the growing points of plants.
