The action mechanism of cyclopyrimorate, a novel herbicide for weed control in rice fields, was investigated. Cyclopyrimorate caused bleaching symptoms in <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> similar to those caused by existing carotenoid biosynthesis inhibitors, mesotrione and norflurazon. However, cyclopyrimorate treatment resulted in significant accumulation of homogentisate and a reduction in the level of plastoquinone. A metabolite of cyclopyrimorate, des-morpholinocarbonyl cyclopyrimorate (DMC), wa ...[more]
