Summary. Chlorfenprop‐methyl, the active ingredient of the selective herbicide BIDISIN®, induces autolysis in the leaves of Avena fatua L. During this process the cellular hydrolytic enzynnes, normally inactive, degrade the polymeric proteins, starch and nucleic acids, leading to breakdown of the plant. The basic metabolic processes of respiration, photosynthesis, protein synthesis and RNA synthesis are not inhibited by chlorfenprop‐methyl but become inactivated during autolysis.
