DL-Phosphinotricin is an herbicide commonly used in plant molecular biology and plant tissue culture. The melting point of a solid is the temperature range at which it changes state from solid to Liquid. R-phrases (short for Risk Phrases) are defined in Annex III of European Union Directive 67/548/EEC: Nature of special risks attributed to dangerous R-phrases (short for Risk Phrases) are defined in Annex III of European Union Directive 67/548/EEC: Nature of special risks attributed to dangerous In Chemistry, the standard state of a material is its state at 1 bar (100 Kilopascals exactly A herbicide is used to kill unwanted Plants Selective herbicides kill specific targets while leaving the desired Crop relatively unharmed Molecular biology is the study of Biology at a molecular level It is the ammonium salt of glufosinate. Ammonium is also an old name for the Siwa Oasis in western Egypt. Salt is a Dietary mineral composed primarily of Sodium chloride that is essential for Animal life but toxic to most land plants Glufosinate or its ammonium salt DL-phosphinotricin is an active ingredient in several nonselective systemic Herbicides - Basta Rely Finale Challenge and Liberty It is also known as Glufosinate or Glufosinate ammonium.

The herbicide is a broad spectrum herbicide which is comparatively bio-degradeable similar to glyphosate. Glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl glycine is a non-selective Systemic Herbicide, absorbed through the leaves injected into the bole or applied to the stump of ^[1] Glyphosate was first sold by Monsanto under the tradename Roundup, but is no longer under patent. The Monsanto Company ( is a multinational Agricultural biotechnology Corporation. Roundup is the brand name of a systemic broad-spectrum Herbicide produced by the U It is sold under the brand names sold under trade names Basta, Buster and Liberty. Crops have been developed (genetically engineered) which are resistant to this herbicide through the insertion into plants of the bar gene. Genetic engineering, Recombinant DNA technology, genetic modification/manipulation (GM and gene splicing are terms that apply to the direct ^[2]
