Triketones, derived chemically from a natural phytotoxin (leptospermone), are a good
example of allelochemicals as lead molecules for the development of new herbicides …

Mesotrione (2‐[4‐(methylsulfonyl)‐2‐nitrobenzoyl]‐cylohexane‐1, 3‐dione) is an herbicide
brought to the market 15 years ago and commonly used on maize cultures. This review …

The aim of this study was to monitor the sediment, soil and surface water contamination with
selected popular triketone herbicides (mesotrione (MES) and sulcotrione (SUL)), atrazine …

Mesotrione is a new selective herbicide used for maize crops. The responses of microbial
communities of a chernozem soil (Limagne basin, France) to pure or formulated (Callisto®) …

The aim of this study was to investigate the dissipation of mesotrione and effect on
dehydrogenase activity (DHA) in maize and soil system. The paper for the first time …

Due to their increased polarity, many contemporary biologically active chemicals exhibit acid
functions and may thus dissociate to their anionic conjugated base at pH values typically …

Plants can reduce or eliminate the damage caused by herbicides and gain herbicide
resistance, which is an important theoretical basis for the development of herbicide-resistant …

The present study was undertaken to investigate the oxidative stress and genotoxic effects of
the herbicide mesotrione in a common freshwater fish, Cyprinus carpio. These fish were …

BACKGROUND Resistance to the 4‐hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD)‐
inhibiting herbicide tembotrione in an Amaranthus palmeri population from Nebraska (NER) …

Dissipation kinetics of mesotrione, a new triketone herbicide, sprayed on soil from Limagne
(Puy-de-Dôme, France) showed that the soil microflora were able to biotransform it. Bacteria …
