Abstract
The photosystem II inhibitory activity of substituted phenylurea deriv atives in liverwort photoautotrophically cultured cells was determined by monitoring chlorophyll fluorescence. Since the inhibitory activiti es in this assay correlated well with both the Hill inhibitory activit y in isolated thylakoids and the herbicidal activity against mung bean plants, this bioassay may be a suitable screening method for photosys tem II inhibitory herbicides.
