Racemic glufosinate-ammonium

1. Racemic glufosinate-ammonium induces apoptosis in worms.

   “These phenomena caused oxidative damage (protein and membrane lipid peroxidation) and further induced apoptosis.”

1. Racemic glufosinate-ammonium decreases offspring in worms.

   “reproductive toxicity (significant reductions in the number of eggs and offspring in vivo and induced apoptosis of gonadal cells)”

1. Racemic glufosinate-ammonium impairs physical function in worms.

   “neurotoxicity (inhibited head swinging, body bending frequency and acetylcholinesterase [AchE] activity)”

1. Racemic glufosinate-ammonium shortens lifespan in worms.

   “racemic glufosinate-ammonium and l-glufosinate-ammonium both mediated the developmental toxicity (shortened developmental cycle, reduced body length and width, promoted ageingand decreased longevity)”
