Abstract The complementary modes of action 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) and photosystem II (PSII) inhibitors have been credited for the synergistic weed control improvement several species. Recent research discovered that reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation subsequent lipid peroxidation is cause cell death by glutamine synthetase inhibitor glufosinate. Therefore, a basis syne...
