The photosystem II inhibitory activity of substituted phenylurea derivatives in liverwort photoautotrophically cultured cells was determined by monitoring chlorophyll fluorescence. Since the inhibitory activities in this assay correlated well with both the Hill inhibitory activity in isolated thylak...
