GY MUSCHINEK; GY. I. GARAB; LA. MUSTÁRDY; et al. Weed Research 1979. doi:10.1111/j.1365-3180.1979.tb01582.x

- Intervention effect Linuron inhibited photosynthetic electron transport.
- Mechanism Electron transport inhibition immediately stopped carbon dioxide fixation.
- Intervention effect Linuron altered membrane energization.
- Mechanism Lipid breakdown led to pigment destruction, changed energy transfer, membrane disorganization and toxic peroxide accumulation.
