Rhodanine (2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone) and 2(5H)-thiophenone inhibit germination and root growth of several plants. Using Scenedesmus acutus and Marchantia polymorpha L., these compounds were assayed with respect to degradation of chlorophyll, light-induced ethane formation and growth inhibition to determine the action mechanism. Chlorophyll reduction and growth inhibition of liverwort cells were quantitatively correlated with light-induced ethane formation of Scenedesmus in the presence of these compounds. Furthermore, we found that rhodanine itself decreased the chlorophyll content in liverwort cell s and produced ethane with Scenedesmus cells in the light although no protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) accumulated. Diuron did not influence ethane formation with these two compounds s is observed with peroxidizing herbicides like oxyfluorfen. Apparently, rhodanine prevents PPIX accumulation by AFM
