Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to genetically modified plants comprising NODULE INCEPTION (NIN) and NIN-LIKE PROTEIN (NLP) that have been genetically altered to be responsive to cytokinin so that the NIN or NLP protein can induce root nodulation upon appropriate signaling.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for preventing deposition of inorganic salts. It comprises 5.0-50.0% by weight of a phosphonomethylated derivative of 1,3-diaminopropanol-2 of the general formula: ##STR1## wherein n=1 to 20; 5.0 to 10.0% by weight of 1,3-diaminopropanol-2 and/or a derivative of 1,3-diaminopropanol-2 of the general formula: ##STR2## wherein n=1 to 20; 3.0-30.0% by weight of hydrochloric acid, 3.0-7.0% by weight of an alkali metal chloride, 0.5-2.5% by weight of a product of interaction of benzyl chloride, chlorobenzyl chloride, benzylidene chloride or a mixture of these chlorinated compounds with hexamethylenetetramine at a molar ratio thereof equal to 1:0.25-0.45 respectively; 0.5-4.0% by weight of a water-soluble organic solvent and water being the balance. The protective effect of the composition against deposition of inorganic salts is as high as 100%. The freezing point is as low as -100.degree. C.
