REDUCTION IN THE SENSITIVITY OF HERBICIDE TARGET SITES. Crossresistance may involve changes in the sensitivity of herbicide target sites. However, if this is the only mechanism for resistance in Lolium there must be changes in more than one target site since there is resistance to more than one herbicide class.

The inhibition of photosynthetic carbon metabolism has not proved to be a fruitful ground for the discovery and development of herbicidal compounds. Consideration of the action and chemistry of enzyme inhibitors, however, could prove to be a profitable exercise for the identification of new herbicidal target sites. 

Cellulose is a homopolymer of j3-(l — 4)-linked glucose that plays a crucial structural role in plant cell walls. " This essential function of cellulose and its specificity to plants makes it a desirable herbicide target site.
