ResumoGlutathione conjugation of herbicides appears to be a common reaction in plants and mammals. However, the terminal product in plants is not the mercapturic acid formed in mammals. In plants, glutathione conjugation is a detoxication mechanism which effectively reduces the active internal concentration of the herbicide and prevents irreversible injury.
