We have proposed this as a mode of action of such compounds. Because it is believed that the sulphoxide metabolites of thiocarbamates are the active intermediates, we have examined the action of 1-aminobenzotriazole (an inhibitor of sulphoxide formation) on the inhibition of very long-chain fatty acid biosynthesis. In all tissues tested, aminobenzotriazole was able to block the specific inhibitory effect of thiocarbamates on fatty acid elongation. These results add further support to our proposal that fatty acid elongation is a sensitive target site for thiocarbamate herbicides in plants.  Journal Name : ZEITSCHRIFT FUR NATURFORSCHUNG C-A JOURNAL OF BIOSCIENCES  Volume : 46  Issue Number : 9  Publishing Year : 1991 AH   Added Date : Saturday, June 14, 2008  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email خالد بن عمر أبو النجا   Researcher   kabulnaja@Yahoo.com Back To Researches Page
