Glyphosate Application Causes Physiological Perturbations in Amino Acid Profiles of Palmer amaranth- A Study of Susceptible and Resistant Biotypes of Amaranthus palmeri
Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the world. It is used to control perennial grasses and weeds having broad leaves. Glyphosate works by inhibiting the plant specific enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phospate synthase that catalyzes the conversion of shikimic acid to chorismate, which serves as the precursor to production of aromatic amino acids, namely tyrosine, phenylalanine and tryptophan
