Abstract: A method of producing a plant which shows resistance to a herbicide in particular glyphosate, said method comprising

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of breeding plants that are glyphosate resistant due to a transgene whereby all of the resulting progeny plants or seed are also glyphosate resistant due to inheritance of the transgene by elimination of male gametes that do not carry a resistance transgene.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of inducing tillering in cereal plants using certain 5-phenyl-3-pyridinecarboxylate compounds, to certain of the compounds themselves, to a process for preparing these compounds, and to agricultural compositions containing them. The compounds are also useful as intermediates for preparing other of the compounds.

Abstract: This invention provides a method of enhancing, or preventing the decline in, the digestibility of a crop, in particular of a fodder crop, by applying to the crop, to seed of the crop, or to the locus of the crop or seed, a compound or a mixture of at least two compounds of general formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen or --COR.sup.1 wherein R.sup.1 is alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkoxy, aryloxy or aralkyloxy, X is --O--, --NE-- or --CH.sub.2 --, Y is carboxy or an alkali metal, ammonium or mono- or di-alkyl- or cycloalkylamine salt thereof, or Y is alkoxycarbonyl, aryloxycarbonyl, aralkyloxy- carbonyl, amino or mono- or di-alkyl- or aryl- amino, Z is hydrogen, halogen, nitro, alkyl, trihalomethyl, hydroxy, alkoxy, acyloxy, cyano or alkylenedioxy, and x is an integer of 1 to 3. The invention also provides novel compounds, namely L-.alpha.-aminooxy-.beta.-(parahydroxy phenyl) propionic acid, and acid addition salts thereof.

Abstract: Method of protecting legumes and cotton from herbicidal damage using a compound of formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are hydrogen, halogen, alkoxy, alkyl, trihalomethyl, amino or hydroxy, Q is carboxy, x is 1, m is 1 or 2, and n is 1 or 2.
