Abstract
Summary The metabolism of 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzonitrile (bromoxynil) was studied in plants that show a very different susceptibility to the active ingredient. Depending on the susceptibility of the corresponding plant, a graduate rate of metabolism was found. In plants extensively resistant to bromoxynil (Stellaria media, Hordeum vulgare), a rapid metabolization was observed. In Chrysanthemum segetum and Lycopersicon esculentum, both species being moderately susceptible, significant parts of the parent compound remained unchanged. Galium aparine, a very susceptible plant species, was not able to metabolize significant amounts of bromoxynil.
