Glyphosate Solution (10 mg/mL)
Product ID
G3472
Glyphosate is a potent plant growth regulator and herbicide. Its mode of action is to interfere with the shikimate pathway by inhibiting the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate (EPSP) synthase (Steinrücken and Amrhein, 1980), which is responsible for the biosynthesis of the aromatic compounds (e.g., tryptophan, phenylalanine, and tyrosine) and the 3-deoxy-d-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate (DAHP) synthase isozyme. An EPSP gene conferring resistance to glyphosate was isolated first from Salmonella sp. (Comei et al. 1983).
Glyphosate is stable to autoclaving (Haderlie et al. 1977). Herbicidal activity has been shown at 0.5 mM in soybean (Hinchee et al. 1988) and 1 mM in tobacco (Singer and McDaniel, 1985).
