Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Norflurazon is a pyridazinone herbicide that inhibits carotenoid biosynthesis by targeting phytoene desaturase (PDS), an essential enzyme in the carotenoid pathway. This inhibition leads to photooxidative damage in chloroplasts due to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, ultimately causing bleaching and plant death. Norflurazon is primarily used for pre-emergent weed control in various crops and has also been utilized in research to study plastid development and stress responses.
