  • Activators of lateral root formation
    Patent number: 8486863
    Abstract: The present invention relates to small chemical compounds that act as activators of lateral root formation in plants. More specifically, it relates to small chemical compounds that are structurally not related to auxin but do have a similar effect on root density development in plants. Preferably, these compounds act more specifically on root development than auxin, and may have a different working mechanism.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 22, 2007
    Date of Patent: July 16, 2013
    Assignees: VIB VZW, Universiteit Gent
    Inventors: Dominique Audenaert, Tom Beeckman, Bert De Rybel, Dirk G. Inze
  • Non-steroidal brassinosteroid mimetic
    Patent number: 8273775
    Abstract: The present invention relates to non-steroidal mimetics of brassinosteroids. More specifically, it relates to non-steroidal monocyclic compounds, capable of rescuing the brassinosteroid receptor null mutation bri1-116. Preferably, said compounds are low molecular weight, monocyclic halogenated compound.
