  • Patent number: 5846908
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for enhancing plant growth provide for foliar application of a substance which enhances the accumulation of formylterahydropteroyl polyglutamate (C.sub.1 -THF) in a treated plant. Treatment with substance that contribute to the structure of (C.sub.1 -THF) increase the rate and quantity of carbon fixation by the plant. Thereafter, plant growth is further improved either by exposure of the plant to elevated oxygen, illumination and heat or by foliar input of single carbon fragment sources. Opitmal results are obtained by combined treatment with a substance that can serve as a sink for C.sub.1 fragments produced in the leaf.

  • Patent number: 5643853
    Abstract: Thiol compounds are employed in conjunction with compounds which modulate self proliferation, both as to plants and mammals. The thiol compounds find effect in enhancing the effectiveness of auxin like compounds, either as herbicides or in enhancing root formation. In addition, thiol compounds act in conjunction with cytotoxic agents in mammals to allow for lower dosages of the cytotoxic agents while retaining the cytotoxic effect against hyperproliferative diseases, such as cancer. The combination finds particular effect against cells dependent upon an isoform of a surface membrane NADH oxidase for proliferation.
