  • Patent number: 9944946
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of increasing resistance against fungal pathogens of the order Pucciniales, preferably the family Phacopsoraceae, in plants and/or plant cells. This is achieved by increasing the expression of an HCP4 protein or fragment thereof in a plant, plant part and/or plant cell in comparison to wild type plants, wild type plant parts and/or wild type plant cells. Furthermore, the invention relates to transgenic plants, plant parts, and/or plant cells having an increased resistance against fungal pathogens, in particular, pathogens of the order Pucciniales, preferably the family Phacopsoraceae, and to recombinant expression vectors comprising a sequence that is identical or homologous to a sequence encoding an HCP4 protein.

  • Patent number: 9944568
    Abstract: An encapsulated particle comprises a core particle, a transferrable-pesticide disposed about the core particle, and a polyurethane layer disposed about the transferrable-pesticide. The core particle comprises a fertilizer, such as urea. The transferrable-pesticide can comprise a dinitroaniline, such as pendimethalin. The polyurethane layer is generally formed from a reaction mixture having a maximum temperature of no greater than about 30° C. The polyurethane layer inhibits the transferrable-pesticide from transferring to a surface different from the core particle when the encapsulated particle physically contacts the surface. A method of forming the encapsulated particle comprises the steps of encapsulating the core particle with the transferrable-pesticide to form an intermediate-particle, combining an isocyanate and a polyol to form the reaction mixture, and encapsulating the intermediate-particle with the reaction mixture to form the polyurethane layer of the encapsulated particle.
