Glyphosate
Description
Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum, non-selective systemic herbicide that inhibits the enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) in the shikimate pathway. In plant biotechnology, glyphosate is commonly used as a selective agent for genetically modified plants carrying glyphosate resistance genes. Its mechanism blocks aromatic amino acid biosynthesis, leading to growth inhibition in susceptible plants.
