These latter high-energy compounds may then be employed in the fixation of CO2 and subsequent provision of organic molecules for plant growth. The principal toxic effects resulting from the action of all photosynthetic inhibitor herbicides, including those that prevent synthesis of the photosynthetic apparatus (Hess, 2000), are expressed through disruption of thylakoid, chloroplast and then plant cell membranes. This disruption follows the oxidation, due to an excess of activated oxygen species, of unsaturated fatty acids in these membranes.
The introduction of the EU Directive 91/414/EEC aimed to coordinate the regulation of pesticides throughout the EU (Flynn, 1999: Pesticides Safety Directorate, 2003a), and will ultimately replace national legislation such as the Control of Pesticides Regulations in the UK. The Directive defines the principles and procedures to be used for authorisation of plant protection products, and its annexes outline the basis for coordination or harmonisation of data requirements and regulatory decisions.
2 The damaging effects of weeds. 27 28 Herbicides and plant growth regulators biochemical level between the target site in plants and other organisms, to the failure of the herbicide to reach the biochemical site of action in non-target species, and/or detoxification in the latter. The degree of selectivity needed for control of weeds in crops is not, of course, required for non-crop situations and so herbicides capable of killing all plant species are often used. Such so-called total herbicides may also be used before planting or germination of crops to clear weeds.
