  • Publication number: 20100267566
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of finding compounds which increase the tolerance of plants to abiotic stress factors acting on this plant, such as, for example, temperature (such as chill, frost or heat), water (such as dryness, drought or anoxia), or the chemical load (such as lack of or excess of mineral salts, heavy metals, gaseous noxious substances) by increasing the expression of plant-endogenous proteins, and to the use of these compounds for increasing the tolerance in plants to abiotic stress factors.

  • Patent number: 7786041
    Abstract: Synergistic crop plant-compatible herbicidal compositions comprising herbicides from the group of the benzoylcyclohexanediones Herbicidal compositions comprising A) a compound from the group of the benzoylpyrazoles, B) at least one further herbicide and C) at least one safener are described as herbicides which are active against monocotyledonous and/or dicotyledonous harmful plants. Compared to the herbicides used on their own, these compositions have superior activity and at the same time high compatibility with crop plants.
