Abstract

The present disclosure provides methods and compositions to control pests that cause damage to crop plants, for example, to control whitefly. The methods and compositions disclosed employ one or more silencing elements that decrease the level of one or more target sequences in the pest.

IPC Classes  ?

• A01N 25/04 - Dispersions or gels
• A01N 25/12 - Powders or granules
• A01N 25/22 - Biocides, pest repellants or attractants, or plant growth regulators, characterised by their forms, or by their non-active ingredients or by their methods of applicationSubstances for reducing the noxious effect of the active ingredients to organisms other than pests containing ingredients stabilising the active ingredients
• A01N 25/30 - Biocides, pest repellants or attractants, or plant growth regulators, characterised by their forms, or by their non-active ingredients or by their methods of applicationSubstances for reducing the noxious effect of the active ingredients to organisms other than pests characterised by the surfactants
• A01N 63/60 - Isolated nucleic acids
• A01P 7/04 - Insecticides
• C12N 15/113 - Non-coding nucleic acids modulating the expression of genes, e.g. antisense oligonucleotides
• C12N 15/82 - Vectors or expression systems specially adapted for eukaryotic hosts for plant cells

Abstract

Herbicide-detoxifying enzymes, compositions containing one or more of the enzymes, and plant seeds treated with the enzymes are provided. The enzymes can be used in methods for detoxifying auxin herbicides or degrading auxin plant regulators, including in methods for decontaminating surface of an apparatus used in agriculture or pesticide manufacturing, methods for decontaminating water, soil, soilless media, or sludge, and methods for protecting a plant from an auxin herbicide, improving a plant's tolerance to an auxin herbicide, or removing an auxin herbicide from the surface of a plant.

IPC Classes  ?

• C12N 9/00 - Enzymes, e.g. ligases (6.)ProenzymesCompositions thereofProcesses for preparing, activating, inhibiting, separating, or purifying enzymes
• C12N 9/02 - Oxidoreductases (1.), e.g. luciferase
• C12N 9/88 - Lyases (4.)
• C12N 15/52 - Genes encoding for enzymes or proenzymes
• C12Q 1/26 - Measuring or testing processes involving enzymes, nucleic acids or microorganismsCompositions thereforProcesses of preparing such compositions involving oxidoreductase

Abstract

Systems, devices, and methods for detecting agrochemicals in environments associated with agricultural equipment are described. Certain agrochemicals that are formulated for being detected using the systems, devices, and methods disclosed herein are also described. The devices, systems, and methods disclosed herein are generally configured to use spectral characteristics to detect agrochemicals in an environment associated with agricultural equipment. The spectral characteristics can be analyzed in various ways to provide different types of information about the agrochemicals and/or the environment.

IPC Classes  ?

• G01N 21/27 - ColourSpectral properties, i.e. comparison of effect of material on the light at two or more different wavelengths or wavelength bands using photo-electric detection
