Abstract: The invention concerns pesticide and/or insecticide and/or plant growth regulating compositions comprising specific dendrimers, said compositions being, in particular, useable for agriculture and/or public health or domestic hygiene; the invention also concerns methods for treating and/or protecting crops and/or for public health and domestic hygiene using said compositions. The invention further concerns specific dendrimers.

Abstract: The invention concerns heliomicine, A DNA sequence coding for heliomicine, a vector containing it for transfroming a host organism and the transformation method. The invention concerns heliomicine as a medicine in particular for treating fungal infections. More particularly, it concerns the transformation of plant cells and plants, the heliomicine produced by the transformed plants ensuring their resistance to diseases, in particular diseases of fungal origin.

Abstract: The invention relates to compounds of general formula I, where A1, R1, R2 and Y are as defined in the description; and to their use as phytopathogenic fungicides.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for transforming plants cells by introducing a heterologous gene into competent plant cells with a gene for tolerance to HPPD inhibitors as a selection marker wherein a step for bleaching the competent plant cells is carried out prior to transforming the cells by introducing a suitable amount of HPPD inhibitor into the cell culture medium. The invention also provides methods for preparing transgenic plants comprising a heterologous gene.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a recombinant non-yeast DNA, which encodes a protein of interest, wherein an unmodified DNA corresponding to the recombinant non-yeast DNA contains a region having a high content of codons that are poorly suited to yeasts, wherein a number of the codons that are poorly suited to yeasts are replaced in said region of the recombinant non-yeast DNA with synonymous codons coding for the same amino acid that are well-suited to yeasts, and wherein the number of replaced codons is sufficient to permit expression in yeasts. The present invention also relates to DNA sequences which originate from dicotyledonous or monocotyledonous plants, and in particular plants of the graminae family which are selected from among wheat, barley, oats, rice, maize, sorghum and cane sugar, as well as to vectors and transformed yeasts which contain the DNA sequences of the invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an isolated and purified DNA comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes a polypeptide functionally involved in the DNA mismatch repair system of a plant.

Abstract: A valve device has an outer sleeve with a first end to be secured in an orifice of a container. A second end is releasably attached to a receptacle. Walls define a generally cylindrical support passage which extends from said first end to said second end. An inner sleeve is within the support passage with walls defining a generally outer surface adjacent the walls of the outer sleeve. The walls rotatably support the inner sleeve and define an internal through passage. A butterfly valve member is in the through passage. The butterfly valve has diametrically opposed first and second pivot stubs which extend at least into the walls of the inner sleeve to rotatably support the butterfly valve. The walls of the outer sleeve have a profiled opening into which the first pivot stub extends. The first pivot stub includes a cam member which interacts with the profiled opening. Relative rotation of the inner and outer sleeves causes the butterfly valve member to rotate between a closed state and an open state.

Abstract: A process for preparing pesticides or pesticidal intermediates, particularly 5-amino-1 aryl-3-cyanopyrazoles, having the formula 1

Abstract: A method of controlling parasites in or on an animal comprising orally administering to the animal a parasiticidally effective, substantially non-emetic 1-arylpyrazole.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for controlling the growth of weeds (i.e. undesired vegetation) at a locus which comprises applying to the locus a herbicidally effective amount of: (a) picolinfen, a phenoxypicolinamide derivative of formula (I); and (b) a partner herbicide, selected from isoxazole, dione, urea and hydroxybenzonitrile herbicide.

Abstract: A method of controlling parasites in or on an animal comprising orally administering to the animal a parasiticidally effective, substantially non-emetic 1-arylpyrazole.

Abstract: A method of controlling parasites in or on an animal comprising administering to the animal a parasiticidally effective, substantially non-emetic 1-arylpyrazole.

Abstract: A process for preparing pesticides or pesticidal intermediates, particularly 5-amino-1 aryl-3-cyanopyrazoles, having the formula said process comprising reacting a compound having the formula with a cyanide salt.

Abstract: Compositions for preparation of wettable-powder and powder suspension herbicidal products containing low-melting agrochemical agents, such as bromoxynil esters, are provided. Preferred compositions are co-melts of bromoxynil esters with at least one additional herbicide or pesticide, particularly atrazine. The compositions of the invention have higher melting points than the bromoxynil ester component, and therefore have advantages in that the use of solvents and/or carriers in formulations can be avoided or minimized. The compositions can be processed into dry powders without the problems associated with the softening or melting of pure bromoxynil esters during grinding or milling, and without the need for dilution of the product with substantial amounts of inactive carriers. Compositions containing the alloys do not lose selectivity in the presence of oil adjuvants.

Abstract: The invention concerns a new tool for efficient mutagenesis enabling the generation of a collection of mutants in fungi by random insertion of a characterized Fusarium oxysporum Impala transposon in the genome of said fungi. The invention also concerns the resulting mutants.
