PG - 2087-95 LID - 10.1021/jf900079y [doi] AB - Chirality exists extensively in nature. Synthetic chiral plant growth regulators and other pesticides usually behave enantioselectively in phyto-biochemical processes. Chiral plant growth regulators regulate the physiological processes of plants enantioselectively, and chiral pesticides cause enantioselective toxicities or ecotoxicities to plants. On the other hand, these chiral agrochemicals can be absorbed and enantioselectively metabolized by plants. This review summarizes the enantioselective effects of chiral plant growth regulators on plants and the phytotoxic and biotransformation effects of chiral herbicides and several persistent organic pollutants (POPs) on plants. Together, this information on the interactions between chiral agrochemicals and plants might shed light on studies on the chemical and biological behaviors of chiral chemicals, and direct research into the selection of plants, which can potentially decontaminate the environment.
