Glufosinate-ammonium, also called DL-phosphinothricin, is a broad-spectrum, non-selective herbicide, known for its effectiveness in controlling a wide range of annual and perennial weeds, grasses, and broadleaf plants. It acts by inhibiting glutamine synthetase, an enzyme for the synthesis of glutamine, leading to the accumulation of toxic levels of ammonia in plant cells, which ultimately results in plant death. Understanding how this compound affects plants at the cellular level provides valuable insights into the regulation of ammonia levels within plant tissues and the critical roles of enzymes in plant metabolism. In terms of environmental science, the study of glufosinate-ammonium′s behavior in soil and water systems is for assessing its impact on ecosystems. Research in this area focuses on its degradation, mobility, and persistence in the environment.
