Bioactivity | Acifluorfen sodium, a protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PROTOX) inhibitor herbicide, promotes the accumulation of protoporphyrin IX (PPIX), and induces tumors in the rodent liver. Acifluorfen sodium causes strong photooxidative destruction of pigments and lipids in sensitive plant species[1][2]. |
