Lipo Chitooligosaccharide (LCO) [NodBj-V(C18:1,Mefuc)] isolated from Bradyrhizobium japonicum strain 532C was able to stimulate seed germination/seedling emergence, or in the case of potato, sprouting, of a number of crop plants representing eight distantly related plant families (Poaceae, Fabaceae, Brassicaceae, Cucurbitaceac, Malvaceae, Asteraceae, Chenopodiaceae and Solanaceae) of plants, at 25 and/or at 15° C. It also promoted sprouting potato minitubers. Other LCOs [NodRM-V(C_16:2,5) and LCO from R. leguminosarum] were also shown to also display growth-promoting effects on the tested crop plants. The compositions comprising at least one LCO are shown to be effective in promoting growth under both laboratory and field conditions. The invention thus also relates to methods for promoting seed germination and/or seedling emergence and/or growth of plants comprising subjecting the seeds and/or plants to an effective amount of an agricultural composition comprising at least one LCO.

A phytologic method for repairing the soil polluted by polycycloarylhydrocarbon features that the leguminous plant such as alfalfa, trifolium, etc is planted in said polluted soil and it is harvested after it is growing for 85-95 days.

A process and method for the production of endophytes as plant inoculant products, specifically Clonostachys rosea strain 88-710, for the promotion of plant vigor, health, growth and yield are disclosed. The endophyte, Clonostachys rosea strain 88-710 produces a fungal conidial preparation by utilizing a discrete solid substrate fermentation system, namely Potato Dextrose Agar or Malt Extract Agar. Additionally, the endophyte, Clonostachys rosea strain 88-710, can act as an inoculant to stimulate and have an additive effect with rhizobium bacteria on the production of nitrogen fixing nodules on legumes and growth enhancement e.g. beans, soybeans, peas and alfalfa. As well, Clonostachys rosea strain 88-710, can combine with rooting hormones, e.g. indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) to provide inoculant and rooting benefits to cuttings/transplants of plants.

The invention discloses a method for restoring soil polluted by heavy metal cadmium by using mesquite, comprising the following steps: 1) planting cassia alata plants on the soil polluted by the heavy metal cadmium; and 2) adding ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid into the soil as a fortifier while planting the cassia alata plants. The test results show that: the cassia alata has higher anti-cadmium ability and is suitable to be planted at cadmium polluted areas; while ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid can intensify the restoring function of the cassia alata, the more the amount of the ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid is added in the soil, the more cadmium is enriched within the cassia alata.

The invention may be summarized as follows. The present invention provides insecticides comprised of naturally-occurring compounds, such as, for example, PA1b-related peptides and terpenoid saponins. The present invention also provides for identification and characterization of a synergistic insecticidal effect between peptides and saponins extracted from plants. Furthermore, simplified extraction procedures are provided that avoid the use of a chloroform defatting step or a column chromatography step.

The invention relates to a plant-derived growth-promoting organic medical fertilizer, and belongs to the technical field of organic fertilizers. The plant-derived growth-promoting organic medical fertilizer comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 10 to 35 percent of pteridophyte rhizome, 10 to 38 percent of pine needle, 10 to 36 percent of leguminous plant rhizome, 2 to 10 percent of neem, 2 to 10 percent of tung oil shell, 10 to 35 percent of chicken manure, 5 to 20 percent of pigeon manure, 0.1 to 1.0 percent of zymophyte and 0.05 to 1.0 percent of beneficial microbial strain. The organic medical fertilizer not only has sufficient fertilizer efficiency for promoting the growth of crops but also can effectively prevent and control pests. The invention also provides a method for preparing the plant-derived growth-promoting organic medical fertilizer.

The subject invention relates to compounds and compositions which induce transcripts of the nolA gene in nitrogen-fixing bacteria, such as Bradyrhizobium japonicum. Novel bacterial strains which are insensitive too NolA, soil inoculants comprising NolA insensitive bacteria and/or nolA inducers, and methods of increasing nitrogen fixation in legumes are also disclosed.

Soybean and Medicago truncatula CYP93C genes have been isolated which encode a cytochrome P450 that can catalyze the aryl migration of a flavanone to yield an isoflavanone intermediate or an isoflavone. Plants can now be genetically engineered to produce isoflavones that provide potential human health benefits and increase disease resistance in plants. Isoflavones can now be produced in transgenic plants species in which isoflavones do not naturally occur, i.e., in species other than legumes. Alternatively, introducing infection-inducible isoflavonoid biosynthesis into non-legumes qualitatively complements these plants phytoalexin defenses against microbial pathogens, whereas over-expression of the isoflavonoid pathway in legumes quantitatively increases this defense response. Finally, modifying the extend of production of isoflavonoids in legume roots positively impacts nodulation efficiency and therefore plant yield.
