Mesotrione(Cat No.:R041798)is a selective triketone herbicide widely used for pre- and post-emergence control of broadleaf weeds in maize and other crops. It functions by inhibiting 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), an essential enzyme in carotenoid biosynthesis. This inhibition leads to chlorophyll degradation, bleaching, and plant death. Known for its broad-spectrum efficacy and crop safety, mesotrione supports effective weed management and yield protection. In research, it is employed to study HPPD inhibition, herbicide resistance, and oxidative stress in plants, making it valuable in agricultural and biochemical studies.
