  • Methods for enhancing plant health, protecting plants from biotic and abiotic stress related injuries and enhancing the recovery of plants injured as a result of such stresses
    Patent number: 7101828
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of enhancing the health of plant or seed in order to protect a plant or a seed from a stress-related injury by treating a plant with a composition containing at least one lysophospholipid. The present invention further relates to a method of enhancing or accelerating the recovery of an injured plant by treating such injured plant with a composition containing at least one lysophospholipid. Finally, the present invention relates to a method of enhancing the germination of seeds and seedling vigour by treating seeds with a composition containing at least one lysophospholipid.

  • Plant and fruit treatment with lysophosphatidylethanolamine
    Patent number: 5126155
    Abstract: Phospholipids in general, and lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE) in particular, have been found to be effective agents to enhance the ripening and storage characteristics of fruit, whether applied pre- or post- harvest. LPE both enhances ethylene production in fruit and decreases respiration so as to maintain the fruit firmer for longer. Similar effects occur in leaves and other green plant tissue. Other lysophospholipids and phospholipids with ethanolamine appear to have similar effects.
