description

N-Pyridylaminomethylenebisphosphonic acids constitute a class of promising herbicides. Since their mode of action at the cellular level is still poorly understood, we studied the influence of N-pyridylaminomethylenebisphosphonic acids on plant growth, at the whole plant and undifferentiated tissue levels, using seedlings and cell suspension cultures of mono- and dicotyledonous species. These compounds exhibited strong herbicidal properties, being equipotent with the popular herbicide glyphosate. Since they also depressed buckweed anthocyanin biosynthesis, the shikimate pathway could represent a site of action of N-pyridylaminomethylenebisphosphonic acids.
