Plant metabolism of xenobiotics.
Trends Biochem. Sci. 17, 82-84 (1992)
Metabolism of foreign chemicals (xenobiotics) by plants generally proceeds in three phases: transformation, conjugation and compartmentation. The participating enzymes have numerous similarities not only to the enzymes of normal secondary plant metabolism, but also to those of xenobiotic metabolism in mammalian liver. Plants may therefore be considered as a 'green liver', acting as an important global sink for environmental chemicals.
