Chlorophyll Formation in Euglena as a Test for Herbicides
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 June 2017
Abstract
A system involving resting cells of Euglena gracilis provides a rapid and convenient test system for screening potential herbicides which act as inhibitors of chlorophyll synthesis. The system appears to distinguish between inhibitors of chloroplast formation, such as 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, and inhibitors of chlorophyll formation per se, such as ethionine.
