4780987 METHOD FOR THE PREPARATION OF HYDRATED, PREGERMINATED SEEDS IN GEL CAPSULES Charles Nelsen, Steve Strickland, Roxanne Davis, Keith Redenbaugh assigned to Plant Genetics Inc Novel methods are provided for the preparation and delivery of botanic seeds which are pregerminated and maintained in a hydrated state in gel capsules. Various types of botanic seeds are encapsulated, in some embodiments, with beneficial additives, in a gel matrix and pregerminated. These pregerminated seeds emerge more quickly than raw seeds from a number of planting matrices. These seeds can be encapsulated and pregerminated in variously described ways.
Isolation and characterization of a gene which activated nitrogen fixation genes of Rhizobium meliloti when that bacterium is in a symbiotic relationship with a plant is disclosed. This newly discovered gene, designated fix D, can activate the nifHD promoter. A method of making this inducible gene constitutive is presented. This is useful for making nifHD constitutive. The combination of the fixD promoter with heterologous structural genes is taught. Such combinations are useful for limiting expression of an encoded protein to rhizobia involved in a symbiotic relationship with a plant. Plasmids and methods useful in performance of this invention are also disclosed.
4783406 METHOD AND COMPOSITIONS FOR USE IN THE TREATMENT OF FIREBLIGHT Peter A Vandenbergh, Anne K Vidaver assigned to Microlife Technics Inc
4782022 NITROGEN FIXATION REGULATOR GENES Alfred Puhler, Helmut Reilaender, Gerhard Weber, Bielefeld, Federal Republic Of Germany assigned to Lubrizol Genetics Inc
A method and compositions for the treatment of fireblight disease in plants are described. The compositions include a phage for Erwinia amylovora which produces fireblight and an enzyme produced by the phage which depolymerizes a polysaccharide produced by Erwinia amylovora which is the cause of the fireblight disease. Purified enzyme preparations are described.
