General description
Glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine) (sold commercially as Roundup) is the most widely used broad-spectrum systemic herbicide in the world. Consequently, the environmental effects of glyphosphate and its mechanism of action are an important area of active research.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Glyphosate (N-[phosphonomethyl] glycine) is the herbicide form of the isopropylamine salt of glyphosate.
Glyphosphate inhibits the shikimate pathway-dependent synthesis of the aromatic amino acids tyrosine, tryptophan and phenylalanine at the growing points of plants.

Glyphosate-based herbicides, the most extensively used herbicides in the world, are available in an enormous number of commercial formulations with varying additives and adjuvants. Here, we study the effects of one such formulation, Credit41, in two genetically diverse yeast strains.

Claims have been made recently that glyphosate-resistant (GR) crops sometimes have mineral deficiencies and increased plant disease. This review evaluates the literature that is germane to these claims. Our conclusions are: (1) although there is conflicting literature on the effects

The intensive use of glyphosate alone to manage weeds has selected populations that are glyphosate resistant. The three mechanisms of glyphosate resistance that have been elucidated are (1) target-site mutations, (2) gene amplification and (3) altered translocation due to sequestration.

Since its commercial introduction in 1974, glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine] has become the dominant herbicide worldwide. There are several reasons for its success. Glyphosate is a highly effective broad-spectrum herbicide, yet it is very toxicologically and environmentally safe. Glyphosate translocates well, and
