20220248685 | AGROCHEMICAL COMPOSITION COMPRISING PARTICLES OF SILICATE AND A FUNGICIDE - The present invention concerns an agrochemical composition comprising: —particles of at least one silicate; —one or more fungicide(s) selected from the group consisting of strobilurin fungicides, triazole fungicides, dithio-carbamate fungicides, succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors and biofungicides. The invention also concerns a method for treating a plant wherein a composition as described above is applied onto or next to at least one part of said plant. | 2022-08-11 |
20220248686 | NOVEL INSECT INHIBITORY PROTEINS - Pesticidal proteins exhibiting toxic activity against Lepidopteran pest species are disclosed, and include, but are not limited to, TIC7941, TIC7941PL_1, TIC7941PL_2, and TIC7941PL_3. DNA constructs are provided which contain a recombinant nucleic acid sequence encoding one or more of the disclosed pesticidal proteins. Transgenic plants, plant cells, seed, and plant parts resistant to Lepidopteran infestation are provided which contain recombinant nucleic acid sequences encoding the pesticidal proteins of the present invention. Methods for detecting the presence of the recombinant nucleic acid sequences or the proteins of the present invention in a biological sample, and methods of controlling Lepidopteran species pests using any of the TIC7941, TIC7941PL_1, TIC7941PL_2, and TIC7941PL_3 pesticidal proteins are also provided. Also disclosed are methods and compositions to improve the insecticidal activity of a pesticidal protein against an insect pest species. Further disclosed are method and compositions to reduce expression of a pesticidal protein in the reproductive tissues of a transgenic plant. | 2022-08-11 |
20220248687 | METHOD FOR PROMOTING BACTERIAL CELL WALL DEGRADATION - Provided is a method for promoting bacterial cell wall degradation. A method for promoting cell wall degradation, comprising allowing an N-acetylmuramidase to act on a bacterium in the presence of one or more saccharides selected from the group consisting of: a monosaccharide wherein the monosaccharide is an aldopentose, an L-aldohexose, or a ketohexose; a disaccharide, an oligosaccharide, and a polysaccharide each containing one or more of the monosaccharides as a constituent saccharide; and a derivative thereof. | 2022-08-11 |
20220248688 | ANTIFUNGAL PROTEIN COMPOSITION - An antifungal composition showing broad antifungal activity includes at least one peptidic fragment with antifungal activity. The composition has a broad antifungal spectrum and could be used as a food, cosmetic, coating and/or paint, or to enhance the antifungal properties of other antifungal agents in these products, or any other application where broad antifungal activity is required. Several peptidic fragments and their possible modifications to ensure optimal activity are detailed. Methods for producing and formulating the antifungal composition are also disclosed. | 2022-08-11 |
