  • Patent number: 10028508
    Abstract: The invention is in the technical field of vector control as well as insecticide-resistant mosquito and bed bug control. The active compound compositions of this invention are used against mosquitos and bed bugs which transmit disease pathogens or which annoy the well-being of humans and animals. The active compound compositions of this invention are in particular useful to overcome target-specific and/or metabolic-specific resistance of mosquitos and bed bugs and are biologically efficient on a variety of surfaces over an extended period of time.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 19, 2015
    Date of Patent: July 24, 2018
    Assignee: BAYER CROPSCIENCE AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT

  • Patent number: 9464298
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel expression cassette comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding an EPSPS. In particular, the present invention relates to a novel expression cassette comprising, in the direction of transcription, functionally linked to one another, a promoter regulatory sequence which is functional in plant cells or plants, a nucleic acid sequence encoding an EPSPS and a terminator sequence which is functional in plant cells or plants, characterized in that the promoter regulatory sequence is a nucleic acid sequence chosen from the promoter regulatory sequences of the CsVMV (Cassava Vein Mosaic Virus) plant virus.

  • Publication number: 20150082495
    Abstract: The present invention relates to control of plant pathogens, particularly fungi or oomycetes, by inhibiting one or more biological functions, particularly by inhibiting saccharopine dehydrogenase gene(s) using RNA interference. The invention provides methods and compositions using RNA interference of plant pathogens target genes for such control. The invention is also directed to methods for making transgenic plants tolerant to said plant pathogens, and to transgenic plants and seeds generated thereof.

  • Publication number: 20100173885
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel organometallic compounds for use as a medicine, in particular in photodynamic therapy against various diseases, such as cancer or inflammatory and/or immune disorders. The compounds comprise a central porphyrin or phtalocyanine backbone to which ligand linkers coordinated to at least one transition metal are attached. Eta-5 or eta-6 arenes further bind to the transition metal. According to a preferred embodiment, the compound is a tetranuclear Ruthenium (+II) complex.
