Glyphosine is a plant growth regulator used on sugar beet and sugarcane. It inhibits fiber production, causing the plant to divert more dry matter to sucrose storage.[1] 76,000 pounds (34,000 kg) of glyphosine were used in the US in 1974.[3] It was first registered in 1972, though now is considered largely obsolete.[1] In other plants, e.g. maize, it causes chlorosis by inhibiting plasmid RNA synthesis.[4] It can be synthesized from chloroacetic acid and N,N-bis(phosphonomethyl)amine.[5] Metals form complexes with glyphosine.[6][7]
Chemically, glyphosine is a tertiary amine, a glycine derivative and a phosphonic acid.[2]
It has been manufactured by CCA Biochemical and Monsanto, and sold under the "Polaris" trademark.[1]
