The effect of the three cyclohexane-1,3-dione derivatives cycloxydim, sethoxydim and clethodim on the incorporation of 14C-labelled acetate, malonate. acctyl-CoA or malonyl-CoA into fatty acids was studied in an enzyme preparation isolated from barley chloroplasts (Hordeum vulgare L. var. “Alexis”). The herbicides cycloxydim, clethodim and sethoxydim block the de novo fatty acid biosynthesis from [2-14C]acetatc and [1-14C]acetyl-CoA, whereas that of [2-14C]malonatc and [2-14C)malonyl-CoA is not affected. The data indicate that the mode of action of the cyclohexane-1,3-dione derivatives in the sensitive barley plant consists in the inhibition of de novo fatty acid biosynthesis by blocking the acetyl-CoA carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.2.).
