Plant. In plants, the cyano group is hydrolyzed to an amido group which is subsequently oxidized to a carboxylic acid. Hydrolyzes to hydroxybenzoic acid (Hartley and Kidd, 1987). In plants, bromoxynil may hydrolyze to a benzoic acid (Humburg et al., 1989). Bromoxynil-resistant cotton was recently developed by inserting a bxn gene cloned from the soil bacterium Klebsiella ozaenae. This gene, which encodes a specific nitrolase, converted bromoxynil to its primary metabolite 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzoic acid (Stalker et al, 1988).
