==Discovery== |
|
Some plants have been ] for resistance to glufosinate. The gene which gives resistance to glufosinate is a bar or pat gene which was first isolated from two species of ] bacteria. There are glufosinate-resistant transgenic varieties of several crops, including ], ], ], ], ], and ]. Of these, only canola, cotton and maize are currently on the market. This includes ]'s LibertyLink genes, used in over 100 hybrids. |
|
|
|
In the 1960s and early 1970s, scientists at ] and at the ] independently discovered that species of '']'' bacteria produce a tripeptide they called ] that inhibits bacteria; it consists of two ] residues and a unique ] that is an analog of ] that they named "phosphinothricin".<ref name=Donn/>{{rp|90}} They determined that phosphinothricin irreversibly inhibits ].<ref name=Donn/>{{rp|90}} Phosphinothricin was first synthesized by scientists at ] in the 1970s as a ] mixture; this racemic mixture is called glufosinate and is the commercially relevant version of the chemical.<ref name=Donn>Donn, G and Köcher, H.

|
|
In the late 1980s scientists discovered enzymes in these ''Streptomyces'' species that selectively inactivate free phosphinothricin; the gene encoding the enzyme that was isolated from '']'' was called the "bialaphos resistance" or "bar" gene, and the gene encoding the enzyme in '']'' was called "]" or "pat".<ref name=Donn/>{{rp|98}} The two genes and their proteins have 80% homology on the DNA level and 86% amino acid homology, and are each 158 amino acids long.<ref name=Donn/>{{rp|98}} |

Glufosinate was included in a biocide ban proposed by the Swedish Chemicals Agency <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kemi.se/templates/News____5415.aspx|title=Interpretation of criteria for approval of active substances in the proposed EU plant protection regulation|date=2008-09-23|publisher=Swedish Chemicals Agency (KemI)|accessdate=2009-01-14}}</ref> and approved by the European Parliament on January 13, 2009.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/expert/infopress_page/066-45937-012-01-03-911-20090112IPR45936-12-01-2009-2009-false/default_en.htm|title=MEPs approve pesticides legislation|date=2009-01-13|accessdate=2009-01-14}}</ref> |

] |
|
In response to ]'s hugely successful Roundup Ready crops, Bayer Crop Science released its own herbicide tolerant crops. The range of crops tolerant to the herbicide glufosinate include cotton, soybean, canola and corn. These crops are also known as Liberty Link crops. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Glufosinate is a broad-spectrum herbicide that is used to control important weeds such as ], hemp sesbania (]), Pennsylvania smartweed (]) and ] similar to ]. It is applied to young plants during early development for full effectiveness.<ref name=PAN/> It is sold in formulations under brands including Basta, Rely, Finale, Challenge and Liberty.<ref name=PAN/> |
|
One advantage to producing Liberty Link crops is that any glyphosate resistance encountered in problematic weeds, such as ], is overcome due to glufosinate having a completely different mode of action. |
|
|
|
Glufosinate is typically used in three situations as an herbicide: |
|
|
*directed sprays for weed control, including in ] |
|
|
*use as a ] to facilitate harvesting<ref name=moneuro>{{cite web | url=http://www.monsanto.com/products/Documents/glyphosate-background-materials/Agronomic%20benefits%20of%20glyphosate%20in%20Europe.pdf | title=The agronomic benefits of glyphosate in Europe | publisher=] Europe SA | date=February 2010 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120117143642/http://www.monsanto.com/products/Documents/glyphosate-background-materials/Agronomic%20benefits%20of%20glyphosate%20in%20Europe.pdf | archive-date=2012-01-17 }}</ref> |

Glufosinate also has shown to provide some protection against various plant diseases, as it also acts to kill fungi and bacteria on contact.<ref name=Duke>Duke, SO.

== Mode of action == |
|

Phosphinothricin is an ] ] that binds to the ] site. Glufosinate treated plants die due to a buildup of ] and a cessation of ] due to lack of ].<ref>http://www.bayercropscience.com/BCSWeb/CropProtection.nsf/id/glufosinate_ammonium_nsu.htm?open&l=EN&ccm=200020</ref> |

Phosphinothricin is a ] ] that binds to the ] site. Glufosinate-treated plants die due to a buildup of ] in the ] lumen, leading to the uncoupling of ].<ref name=Duke/> The uncoupling of photophosphorylation causes the production of ], ], and membrane destruction.<ref>, HRAC and WSSA</ref> |

==Toxicity== |

===Exposure to humans in foods=== |
|
|
As glufosinate is often used as a pre-harvest ], it can be found in foods that humans ingest. Such foods include potatoes, peas, beans, corn, wheat, and barley. In addition, the chemical can be passed to humans through animals who are fed contaminated straw. Flour processed from wheat grain that contained traces of glufosinate was found to retain 10-100% of the chemicals' residues.<ref name=monograph>{{cite web|last1=Watts|first1=Meriel|title=Glufosinate Ammonium Monograph|url=http://www.pananz.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Glufosinate-monograph-12-Dec-2008.pdf|publisher=] Asia and the Pacific|access-date=20 April 2015}}</ref> |

The herbicide is also persistent; it has been found to be prevalent in spinach, radishes, wheat and carrots that were planted 120 days after the treatment of the herbicide.<ref name=PAN/> Its persistent nature can also be observed by its ] which varies from 3 to 70 days depending on the soil type and organic matter content.<ref name=PAN/> Residues can remain in frozen food for up to two years and the chemical is not easily destroyed by cooking the food item in boiling water.<ref name=monograph /> The EPA classifies the chemical as 'persistent' and 'mobile' based on its lack of degradation and ease of transport through soil. |
