Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for increasing the stress tolerance in plants and plant cells whereby neonicotinoid compounds, such as but not limited to imidacloprid, clothianidin, thiamethoxam, dinotefuran, nitenpyram, acetamiprid or thiacloprid, are applied to plants, or cells thereof, which comprise a genome that has been modified to make the plants or their cells more stress tolerant i.e. plants engineered to be stress tolerant. Particularly effective stress tolerance synergists in combination with genetically modified stress tolerant plants or their cells are neonicotinoid compounds which comprise a chloropyridine side chain, like e.g. imidacloprid, thiacloprid, acetamiprid, nitenpyram and 6-chloronicotinic acid (6-CNA).

A, B and C may be selected from the following compounds: A) the compounds of the general formula (I) in which the radicals R1 and R2 have the meanings given in the description, B) an acylalanine of the general formula (II) in which R3 represents benzyl, furyl or methoxymethyl and * represents a carbon in the R- or S-configuration, the S-configuration being preferred, or fludioxonil or azoxystrobin C) a chloronicotinyl of the general formula (III) where the radicals Het, R, X and A have the meanings given in the description, or rynaxapyr, fipronil, tefluthrin. The active compound combinations are highly suitable for controlling unwanted phytopathogenic fungi and for controlling animal pests. The active compound combinations according to the invention are particularly suitable for treating seed.

Abstract: A method of increasing the inherent defense mechanisms of plants by treating them with chloronicotinyls is disclosed. Chloronicotinyls produce, independently of their control of insects, effective protection of plants against damage from fungal, bacterial or viral pathogens. This defense against pathogens is obtained by the induction of PR proteins resulting from treatment with at least one chloronicotinyl.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of tetramic acid derivatives of the formula (I) in which A, B, G, W, X, Y and Z are as defined above for controlling insects from the suborder of the plant lice (Sternorrhyncha).
