Monoclonal anti-diuron antibodies prevent inhibition of photosynthesis by diuron.

Two monoclonal anti-diuron antibodies were generated that bind to diuron with an extremely low equilibrium dissociation constant. The antibodies prevented and restored in vitro and in vivo the diuron-dependent inhibition of photosynthesis. In isolated thylakoids prepared from spinach leaves (Spinacia oleracea L.
