Abstract
Diphenyl ethers are the most versatile phytotoxic compounds known so far with respect to their targets in the plant cell. According to their substituents, the following modes of action can be found: (a) inhibition of photosynthetic electron transport effective at two binding sites, (b) peroxidative activity (degradation of cellular constituents), (c) inhibition of carotenogenesis, (d) decrease of ATP-synthase (CF1) activity, (e) inhibition of respiratory electron transport, (f) stress response. This paper presents a condensed overview.
