3 results about "Increased stress tolerance" patented technology

The application belongs to the technical field of pesticides, and discloses a use of a biphenyl sulfide compound or a composition thereof for improving plant stress resistance, and particularly relates to a use of a biphenyl sulfide compound or a composition thereof or a mixture thereof for treating plants or plant parts to improve plant stress resistance. The biphenyl sulfide compound or the composition thereof has a remarkable effect on improving crop stress resistance, and can effectively promote the stress resistance of crops in drought and low-temperature stress after application. The biphenyl sulfide compound or the composition thereof is creatively applied to improving crop stress resistance, and has the characteristics of rapid action, remarkable effect and no toxic side effects.

Disclosed herein are micro-sized aragonite compositions and methods for enhancing calcium uptake and overall plant health. The disclosure provides calcium compositions comprising particles of aragonite, preferably oolitic aragonite, that are mechanically reduced to micron or sub-micron dimensions to generate a highly bioavailable, rapidly dissolving calcium source suitable for foliar or soil application. The compositions may be incorporated into liquid suspensions, granules, coated fertilizers, seed treatments, or nutrient delivery systems, and may optionally include biologically active agents, growth stimulants, humates, or surfactants to further promote uptake. Methods of using the compositions to treat calcium deficiency, strengthen cell walls, reduce blossom-end rot, increase stress tolerance, and improve yield are also provided.

The present disclosure provides isolated polynucleotides comprising sequences encoding uORF peptides and variants and fragments thereof. The present disclosure also provides constructs and vectors containing the polynucleotides. The present disclosure further provides cells, plant cells and plants transformed with the polynucleotides and constructs. The present disclosure also provides methods of using the polynucleotides to control expression of operably linked polynucleotides. The present disclosure also provides methods of producing a plant cell or plant selected for a desirable trait, including at least one of increased ascorbate level, increased biomass, increased shoot number, decreased free radical damage, decreased free radical level, increased stress tolerance, increased abiotic stress tolerance, increased biotic stress tolerance, increased disease tolerance, increased disease resistance, increased nutrient use efficiency, increased nitrogen use efficiency, and / or increased oxidative stress tolerance as compared to a control plant.
