Patent number: 6239078Abstract: The present invention is directed to a new matter of composition in the form of chemical compounds and to a method for enhancing plant growth and the properties exhibited by plants treated with the compounds in accordance with this method. In particular, application of the compounds results in an increase in sugar content, essential oils and proteins along with an increase in total plant biomass. Fruits harvested from treated plants exhibit an accelerated biochemical and structural maturity. Citrus fruits typically show a reduced peel thickness and exhibit significant improvements in vitamin C, carotenoid, and essential oil contents. The methods of the present invention produce balanced improvements in the structural, biochemical, and sensory quality of Citrus fruits.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2000Date of Patent: May 29, 2001Assignees: Tropicana Products, Inc., The United States of America as represented by the Department of AgricultureInventors: Henry Yokoyama, James H.

Patent number: 5324707Abstract: This invention is directed to a method for the in vitro application of bioregulator compounds. When applied to intact plants in bioregulatory amounts, the compounds enhance important plant properties such as sugar content, essential oils, vitamins, proteins, and an overall increase in total biomass. The treated plants exhibit accelerated growth, accelerated fruit ripening, improved color scores of juice products and an accelerated maturation. The bioregulator compounds which comprise the invention enhance these plant properties when applied individually to plants. It has also been discovered that the application of mixtures of such compounds effect a greater than additive result and enhance the aforementioned plant properties to an unpredicted and unexpected degree when compared to known bioregulator agents. The present application discloses the usage of plant bioregulator agents in an in vitro environment.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1992Date of Patent: June 28, 1994Assignees: Tropicana Products, Inc., The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of AgricultureInventors: Henry Yokoyama, James H.

Patent number: 5304529Abstract: This invention is directed to a synergistic mixture of bioregulator compounds and a method of their use. Mixtures of these compounds, when applied to plants in bioregulatory amounts, enhance important plant properties such as sugar content, essential oils, vitamin C, proteins, and an overall increase in total plant biomass. The treated plants exhibit accelerated ripening, improved color scores of juice products, and an accelerated maturation. The bioregulator compounds which comprise the invention enhance these plant properties when applied individually to plants, but the application of mixtures of such compounds effect a greater than additive result and enhance the aforementioned plant properties to an unpredicted and unexpected degree when compared to known bioregulator agents.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1992Date of Patent: April 19, 1994Assignees: Tropicana Products, Inc., The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of AgricultureInventors: Henry Yokoyama, James H.
