  • SUNFLOWER BARK EXTRACT AND USES THEREOF
    Publication number: 20220408733
    Abstract: The present invention relates to plant extracts and their use as biostimulant and biocontrol agent. More specific, the invention provides extracts of plants of the genus Helianthus which are capable of modifying root architecture and stimulate root development in plants. Hence, said extracts can be used to control plant development such as e.g. improve general root architecture, nutrient uptake and increase tolerance of plants to drought. In addition, these extracts can be used to control plant disease.

  • Pyrabactin analogues to modulate plant development
    Patent number: 9957288
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds which can be used to control plant development. Indeed, the present invention discloses a new class of pyrabactin analogues which have a physiological effect on—for example—seed germination, and/or stomatal closure, and/or have developmental effects on root and shoot development and organogenesis. Hence, the latter compounds can be used to control plant development such as—for example—increasing the tolerance of plants to drought stress or to control physiological phenomena such as pre-harvest sprouting, tolerance to pathogens etc.
