- Intervention effect Flurtamone and derivatives inhibited xanthophyll formation in cress seedlings in light and dark.
- Observation Phytoene accumulated in treated seedlings.
- Observation Illuminated treated seedlings showed photooxidative chlorophyll destruction.
- Observation Flurtamone inhibited carotenoid biosynthesis in intact Anacystis cells with an I(50) of 30 nanomoles.
- Observation Flurtamone interacted with phytoene desaturase in Anacystis thylakoids with a K(1) of 18 nanomoles.
- Observation Flurtamone concentrations that inhibited carotenoid synthesis had no direct peroxidative activity.
- Observation Flurtamone concentrations that inhibited carotenoid synthesis did not inhibit photosynthetic electron transport.
