Current Advances in the Action Mechanisms of Safeners

Herbicide safeners are a series of agrochemicals that can selectively protect crop plants from herbicide injury without affecting herbicidal efficacy. Understanding mechanisms by which act is significant for discovery novel types. Safeners primarily alleviate phytotoxicity to via several actions: (i) enhancing metabolism herbicides in crops; (ii) absorption and transportation (iii) competitively binding target sites; (iv) activity enzymes. This review describes recent advances the action safeners, analyzes existing problems, anticipates future direction studies modes prospects potential strategies design related their reported mechanisms. The aim this paper provide insight into give tips development new safeners.
