Glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) are among the most often used pesticides. The hundreds of GBHs used worldwide consist of the active ingredient (AI) glyphosate in form of different salts, possibly other AIs, and various mostly undisclosed co-formulants. Pesticide risk assessments are commonly per...
The isoprenoid (also known as terpenoid) pathway is one of the most important and well-studied biosynthetic pathways in plants. It involves cross-talk between the cytosolic mevalonate (MVA) and plastidial 2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathways, to give rise to isopentenyl-diphosphate...
