The rice herbicide cafenstrole and its analogs inhibited the incorporation of [1-(14)C]-oleate and (2-(14)C]-malonate into very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs), using Scenedesmus cells and leek microsomes from Allium porrum. Although the precise mode of interaction of cafenstrole at the molecular level is not completely clarified by the present study, it is concluded that cafenstrole acts as a ...
