Diflufenican is a herbicide that functions by inhibiting the enzyme protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO), which is essential for chlorophyll biosynthesis in plants. By targeting this specific enzyme, diflufenican disrupts the normal growth and development of susceptible plants, leading to chlorosis and ultimately plant death. Diflufenican′s mechanism of action involves binding to the active site of PPO, preventing the enzyme from carrying out its normal function in the synthesis of chlorophyll. As a result, the affected plants are unable to produce chlorophyll, leading to a loss of photosynthetic capacity and subsequent death. In this way, diflufenican may play a role in inhibiting the growth of unwanted plants in agricultural and horticultural applications, which may be useful for weed control in various experimental applications.
