Abstract

The metabolism of phoxim (Za-[[(diethoxyphosphinothioyl) oxyliminolphenylacetonitrile), Volaton, was investigated using heterotrophic cell suspension cultures of soybean (Glycine max L.) and isolated organs (roots, stems, cotyledons, and leaves) of aseptically grown soybean plants. In both systems phoxim was first hydrolyzed to the corresponding oxime, which was then reduced to a primary nitrile amine. The primary amino group was N- ...
