Impact of Soil Aeration on the Environmental Fate of Pre-Emergent Herbicide Metolachlor
The impact of the aeration status of soils on the environmental fate of the soil-applied pre-emergent herbicide metolachlor is of significance to sustainable agriculture practices and has not been investigated thoroughly by existing research works.

Enantioselective induction of a glutathione-S-transferase, a glutathione transporter and an ABC transporter in maize by Metolachlor and its (S)-isomer. [PDF]
The metabolism of chiral herbicides in plants remains poorly understood. Glutathione conjugation reactions are one of the principal mechanisms that plants utilize to detoxify xenobiotics. The induction by rac- and S-metolachlor of the expression of three
