The present invention provides methods and compositions for improving plant health. In particular, application of dicamba or another substrate of DMO, or metabolites thereof including DCSA, to a plant confers tolerance to, or defense against, abiotic or biotic stresses such as oxidative stress including herbicide application, and plant disease, and enhances crop yield. Such application may be in combination with the application of another herbicide such as glyphosate.

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.

Two types of compositions having an eye-drop delivery system are used during or after an orthokeratology procedure to prevent or retard relaxation of corneal tissue back to the original anterior curvature of the cornea. Each composition functions independently from the others and is a different approach of preparing a stabilizing agent. The first composition is directed to a biologically compatible composition comprising fibril associated collagens with interrupted triple helices (FACITs) and/or small leucine-rich repeat proteoglycans (SLRPs). The fibril associated collagen family includes various types of collagens, such as type VI, type XX, type XII, and type XIV. The small leucine-rich repeat proteoglycans family includes decorin, keratocan, biglycan, epiphycan, lumican, mimecan, and fibromodulin. The second composition includes the enzyme found as a normal component of tissues, plasma, or epidermis, such as transglutaminase.

The present invention is generally directed to fusion proteins containing a targeting sequence that targets the fusion protein to the exosporium of a Bacillus cereus family member. The invention also relates to recombinant Bacillus cereus family members expressing such fusion proteins, formulations containing the recombinant Bacillus cereus family members expressing the fusion proteins. Methods for stimulating plant growth and for protecting plants from pathogens by applying the recombinant Bacillus cereus family members or the formulations to plants or a plant growth medium are also described. The invention also relates to methods for immobilizing spores of a recombinant Bacillus cereus family member expressing a fusion protein on plant roots.

The present invention relates to a new and distinct inbred tomato lines and hybrids. This invention also relates to plants and seeds of such inbred tomato lines and hybrids, and to parts thereof. The invention also relates to methods for producing a tomato plant produced by crossing such inbred tomato lines and hybrids with themselves or other tomato plants.

The present invention is directed to methods and compositions of endophytic fungi that confer stress tolerance in inoculated plants, including both monocots and dicots. In particular, Curvularia species, isolated from a host grass Dichanthelium languinosum growing in the geothermal zones of Lassen Volcanic and Yellowstone National Parks, confers such stress tolerance. Upon inoculating a target plant or plant part with endophytic fungi, the resulting plant shows stress tolerance, particularly drought and thermal tolerance.

The invention relates to a lamb milk replacer belonging to the field of the animal nutrition and forage science of the animal husbandry. In the invention, vegetable protein, such as soybean and the like, whey powder, milk sugar, water-soluble fat, an enzyme preparation, mineral substances, vitamins and the like, are taken as raw materials to prepare the lamb milk replacer according to a scientific formula, and the lamb milk replacer is used for replacing goat milk and milk to feed lambs which are 0-90 days old. The milk replacer contains various nutrient substances required by the growth and development of the lambs and reaches the optimal proportion. The lambs can use the lamb milk replacer after being born. The survival rate of the lambs under the condition of multiple lambs in a birth can be improved by using the milk replacer, and meanwhile, the digestion and the adsorption of the lambs to the nutrient substances can be promoted, thereby promoting the growth and development of the lamps. The application of the invention can bring visible economic and ecological benefits to the development of animal husbandry and mutton sheep breeding industry.

Disclosed herein is a method and composition for stimulating the growth of plant roots. This composition includes manure produced by soil-consuming worms after having exclusively consumed an aerated soil mixture and is 100% natural.

The invention provides seed and plants of the lettuce line designated PS 06518403. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of lettuce line PS 06518403, and to methods for producing a lettuce plant produced by crossing a plant of lettuce line PS 06518403 with itself or with another lettuce plant, such as a plant of another line. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of a plant of lettuce line PS 06518403, including the gametes of such plants.

The invention discloses a fruit vegetable plant enzyme and a preparation method and application thereof. The fruit vegetable plant enzyme comprises honey, fruits and vegetables, plants, Chinese medicinal materials and water as raw materials. The fruit vegetable plant enzyme is beneficial to regulate various sub-health conditions of human body, so that the sub-health conditions of the human body can be improved, and gradually return to normal, and cells are younger.

The invention discloses a landscape plant growth retardant and a preparation method thereof. The retardant comprises the following components in part by weight: 10 to 45 parts of plant growth regulator; 5 to 20 parts of bactericide; 40 to 70 parts of nitrogenous chemical fertilizer; 0.01 to 0.1 part of stress resisting agent; 0.01 to 0.1 part of phenylpropionic acid compound and 0.0005 to 0.001 part of lanreotide. The invention finds that the phenylpropionic acid compound has the effect of obviously delaying plant growth for the first time and the lanreotide for anticancer research is appliedto the retardant; and the plant growth regulator, the phenylpropionic acid compound and the anreotide are combined in a synergistic way so that the effect of the landscape plant retardant is well achieved. The retardant can restrain the excessive growth of new branches of trees and shrubs, shortens the length of internode, increases the blade thickness and the chlorophyll content, reduces the occurrence of dry rot, has good stress resistance and reduces the lawn grass chlorosis phenomenon and diseases.
