Patent application number | Description | Published |
20090028837 | Methods for Altering the Reactivity of Plant Cell Walls - Methods and means are provided for the modification of the reactivity of plant cell walls, particularly as they can be found in natural fibers of fiber producing plants by inclusion of positively charged oligosaccharides or polysaccharides into the cell wall. This can be conveniently achieved by expressing a chimeric gene encoding an N-acetylglucosamine transferase, particularly an N-acetylglucosamine transferase, capable of being targeted to the membranes of the Golgi apparatus in cells of a plant. | 01-29-2009 |
20090064371 | Methods for Increasing the Resistance of Plants to Hypoxic Conditions - Methods are provided for increasing the resistance of plants to hypoxic or anoxic conditions. Such methods may be applied to increase the penetrance of plant roots in the growth medium or into soil. The methods according to the invention may include providing plants with a stress tolerance gene. Similar effects can be obtained by applying chemical compounds, including neonicotinoid compounds, to the plants. | 03-05-2009 |
20090205069 | Method and means to modulate programmed cell death in eukaryotic cells - The invention provides for the use of isolated polynucleotides encoding maize poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) proteins to produce eukaryotic cells and organisms, particularly plant cells and plants, with modified programmed cell death. Eukaryotic cells and organisms particularly plant cells and plants, are provided wherein either in at least part of the cells, preferably selected cells, the programmed cell death (PCD) is provoked, or wherein, on the contrary, PCD of the cells or of at least part of the cells in an organism is inhibited, by modulation of the level or activity or PARP proteins in those cells. | 08-13-2009 |
20090270254 | Increase of stress tolerance by application of neonicotinoids on plants engineered to be stress tolerant - The present invention relates to methods for increasing the stress tolerance in plants and plant cells whereby neonicotinoid compounds, such as but not limited to imidacloprid, clothianidin, thiamethoxam, dinotefuran, nitenpyram, acetamiprid or thiacloprid, are applied to plants, or cells thereof, which comprise a genome that has been modified to make the plants or their cells more stress tolerant i.e. plants engineered to be stress tolerant. Particularly effective stress tolerance synergists in combination with genetically modified stress tolerant plants or their cells are neonicotinoid compounds which comprise a chloropyridine side chain, like e.g. imidacloprid, thiacloprid, acetamiprid, nitenpyram and 6-chloronicotinic acid (6-CNA). | 10-29-2009 |
