Extracts of E. coli cells transformed with the Arabidopsis PPOX cDNA had high PPOX activity, and this activity was markedly inhibited by acifluorfen, a specific inhibitor of PPOX.

Mol Genet Genomics. 2005 Jun;273(4):311-8. Epub 2005 Apr 7.

Several Arabidopsis mutants of the ecotype Dijon were isolated that show resistance to the herbicide acifluorfen, which inactivates protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPOX), an enzyme of tetrapyrrole biosynthesis.
