Application

The analytical standard can be used to:

Study the inhibition effect of acetyl-CoA carboxylase in barley chloroplasts using cycloxydim, sethoxydim, and clethodim herbicides Study the photochemical changes and oxidative damage in four foxtail millet varieties after exposure to sethoxydim Study the resistance mechanism of chloroplastic acetyl-CoA carboxylase from green foxtail (Setaria viridis L. Beauv.) towards cyclohexanedione herbicide sethoxydim Study the inhibition mechanism of acetyl-CoA carboxylase by sethoxydim and haloxyfop using a semipurified enzyme preparation extracted from black Mexican sweet maize Evaluate the tolerance of 11 grass species used in minimal-to-no-mow turf areas to three postemergence herbicides applied at one- and twofold recommended label rates Generate sethoxydim-resistant mutants of Micractinium sp. by UV-C mutagenesis for increased cellular triacylglycerol (TAG) without compromising on growth rate

General description

Sethoxydim is a grass-active herbicide that is very effective for postemergence control of annual and perennial grasses. Sethoxydim belongs to the cyclohexanediones family and is mainly applied to broad-leaved crops, including cotton, oilseed rape, soybeans, sugar beets, fodder beets, sunflowers, spinach, potatoes, tobacco, peanuts, strawberries, alfalfa, flax, and vegetables. The herbicide act by inhibiting plastid acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) of monocotyledonous species, causing chloroplast bleaching, tissue necrosis, growth reduction, and ultimately death of a plant.Sethoxydim is not approved for its use in the European Union. Maximum residue levels (MRLs) have been set according to Reg (EC) No 839/2008 for sethoxydim (to be calculated as the sum of sethoxydim and clethodim including degradation products) for various products of plant and animal origin from 0.05 to 1 mg/kg.
