Publication number: 20140315717Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for improving plant health. In particular, application of dicamba or another substrate of DMO, or metabolites thereof including DCSA, to a plant confers tolerance to, or defense against, abiotic or biotic stresses such as oxidative stress including herbicide application, and plant disease, and enhances crop yield. Such application maybe in combination with the application of another herbicide such as glyphosate.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2014Publication date: October 23, 2014Inventors: Muhammad Bhatti, Paul C.C. Feng, John Pitkin, Sio-Wai Hoi

Publication number: 20140137278Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for breeding cotton plants containing a recombination event such that quantitative trait loci (“QTL”) on chromosome 11 are present, associated with resistance to both root-knot nematode (“RKN”) and reniform nematode (“REN”) infection (“stacked nematode resistance”). The invention further provides germplasm and the use of germplasm containing such stacked nematode resistance as a source of nematode resistance alleles for introgression into elite germplasm in a breeding program, thus producing novel elite germplasm comprising the stacked nematode resistance trait.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2013Publication date: May 15, 2014Applicant: Monsanto Technology LLCInventors: Muhammad Bhatti, Roy G. Cantrell, Seungho Cho, Issa Coulibaly, Bill L. Hendrix, Don Lee Keim, Kunsheng Wu, Jinhua Xiao

Patent number: 8686219Abstract: The present invention is in the field of plant breeding and disease resistance. More specifically, the invention includes methods for assaying a location to determine the amount of pest infestation, or assaying a plant for its ability to resist infection, and using this information to make agronomic treatment and/or breeding decisions. The invention also provides methods for breeding cotton plants containing one or more quantitative trait loci that are associated with resistance to reniform nematode infection. The invention further includes germplasm and the use of germplasm containing quantitative trait loci (QTL) conferring reniform resistance as a source of reniform resistant alleles for introgression into elite germplasm in a breeding program, thus producing novel elite germplasm comprising one or more reniform resistance loci.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2010Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Monsanto Technology LLCInventors: Muhammad Bhatti, Roy G.

Patent number: 4385764Abstract: A game of strategy combining the elements of skill and chance is enacted by two players on a flat, generally square playing surface or board which is divided into a plurality of landing territories. A colored token indicates player movement. A chance device such as a die or dice determines the extent of each move in turn; but the pattern of movement among the territories: i.e. horizontally, vertically or a combination of both, is determined by the player in an exercise of skill with the objective of capturing and occupying territories. A plurality of colored disks are provided each player to indicate a temporarily occupied territory. A plurality of pegs, selectively attached to the colored disks, are used to indicate permanent occupation of territory. The object of the game is to temporarily and/or permanently capture territories in a pattern which will entrap and prevent further movement of the opponent.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 1981Date of Patent: May 31, 1983Inventor: Muhammad A.
