Resistance to herbicide chlorsulfuron in plants is due to a change in
-
- Glutamine synthetase
- Threonine deaminase
- Acetolactate synthase
- DNA polymerase
Correct Option: C
Chlorsulfuron is a selective systemic herbicide, absorbed by the leaves and roots and moves rapidly through the plant. Chlorsulfuron blocks acetolactate synthase and thus prevents the plant from producing a branched chain amino acids. This inhibits cell division in the root tips and shoots of sensitive plants.
