Abstract: The present invention relates to the treatment of plant material, especially seeds. The method uses vacuum pressure for disinfecting seeds from pathogens. Seed disinfection is important as seeds infected by pathogens could propagate them and lead to high losses of the crops. The method is applicable to seeds from cucurbit species specifically watermelon, melon, squash, pumpkin, cucumber and gourds but also seeds from solanaceous species specifically tomatoes, peppers and eggplants.
Abstract: The present invention provides novel pyrazolopyridine-diamides of Formula (I), wherein, the definition of W1, W2, A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, D, Z1, E, R1, R2, R3, R4, m and n is as described in the description. The present invention also relates to the composition, combination, use and method of application of the compounds of Formula (I).

Abstract: Disclosed are a single liquid-phase herbicide composition comprising by weight of the composition: (a) from 0.1 to 1% of metsulfuron-methyl; (b) from 1 to 20% of thifensulfuron-methyl; (c) from 30 to 93% of one or more fatty acid esters of C1-C4 alkanols; and (d) from 5 to 25% of one or more surfactants having an emulsifier property, and a process for preparing the composition.
Abstract: The subject invention provides compositions and methods of using the same for improving plants' defense by employing naturally-derived chemicals. In a specific embodiment, the composition is from Parthenium argentatum Gray, also known as the guayule plant. Preferred compositions can up- or downregulate growth genes responsible for the targeted plants' defense mechanisms in order to create physical and/or chemical barriers, and produce detouring exudates, antagonistic compounds, or fumigating compounds that prevent and treat damages from pests in agronomic or non-agronomic plants.

Abstract: A composition comprising a core material, having a taste value and a polymeric coating. The polymeric coating substantially surrounds the core material and comprises a cationic polymer and optionally an anionic polymer. The polymeric coating has a uniform thickness ranging from 2 ?m to 20 ?m. The composition provides release of a portion of the core material which is taste masked over a time period ranging from 0.5 minute to 2 minutes in the oral cavity and provides a modified-release of the remaining core material in a gastrointestinal tract.
Abstract: Methods for the formulation of biodegradable microparticles for delivery of protein drugs, such as botulinum toxin, have been developed. The methods include the steps of precipitating and washing proteins with organic solvent to remove water prior to dispersing in polymer-dissolved organic solvent to prevent exposure to water/solvent interfaces and maintain bioactivity of the protein drugs and fabrication of microparticles by either template or emulsion method. Biodegradable microparticles, formed of one or more biodegradable polymers having entrapped in the polymer one or more protein agents, such as botulinum toxin, are also provided. Precipitated botulinum toxin and botulinum toxin-loaded microparticles can also be formulated into thermogels or crosslinked hydrogels. The stability of the protein within these microparticles, as well as the controlled release of the entrapped agents, provides for sustained efficacy of the agents.
