herbicide commonly used in plantmolecular biology and plant tissue culture. It is theammonium salt ofglufosinate . It is also known as Glufosinate or Glufosinate ammonium.The herbicide is a broad spectrum herbicide which is comparatively bio-degradeable similar to
glyphosate .

It is sold under the brand names sold under trade names Basta, Buster and Liberty. Crops have been developed (genetically engineered) which are resistant to this herbicide through the insertion of the "bar" gene [cite web | last = Mayer | first = Jorge | authorlink = | coauthors = Jade Sharples, and Carol Nottenburg | year = 2004 | url = http://www.patentlens.net/daisy/Phosph/743.html | title = Resistance to Phosphinothricin - Overview | work = Technology Landscapes > Resistance to Phosphinothricin | publisher =CAMBIA | accessdate = 2007-10-20 ] into plants.References
