The toxicity of Rac-metolachlor and S-metolachlor on rice (IIYou92, Oryza sativa L.) seedlings was determined and compared in a hydroponics experiment. The elongation of shoot, main root, and the number of lateral roots were inhibited in both Rac- and S-metolachlor

Enantioselective binding interaction of the pesticides, metolachlor (RAC-metolachlor) and its S-enantiomer (S-metolachlor), with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated by fluorescence and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. Both RAC- and S-metolachlors quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA via a static mechanism, and
Metolachlor, a chloroacetanilide herbicide, has been frequently detected in coastal waters. This study examined the growth, photosynthesis, and detoxification responses of chlorophyte Dunaliella tertiolecta (DT) and brown tide alga Aureococcus anophagefferens (AA) upon 5-day exposure to 0.5-5 mg L(-1) metolachlor.
