Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods and uses of photo-labile compounds which are trehalose-6-phosphate or trehalose-6-phosphonate or agriculturally acceptable salts thereof in the treatment of water stress in plants. The invention also concerns methods and the use of the compounds for resurrection of water stressed plants, and for improvement of yield of crop plants under water stressed conditions compared with untreated plants.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to improved recombinant plants or plant cells for producing omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids such as eicospentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The invention further relates to the oil produced by said recombinant oilseed plant or cell.

Abstract:
The present invention provides compounds for attracting bed bugs, compositions thereof, devices comprising said compositions and their use in the detection, monitoring and control of bed bugs.
Abstract:
A method for preventing or reducing resistance to a pesticide of a substrate pest, which method comprises the administration to the substrate or the pest of a composition comprising: (a) a rapid-release formulation of an inhibitor of a factor causing or contributing to the resistance of the pest to the pesticide; and, substantially simultaneously, (b) a non-rapid release formulation of the pesticide. The invention also provides compositions suitable for use in such a method.

Abstract:
This invention relates to genetically modified plants with improved drought tolerance and to genetically modified cells thereof. These plants may have thicker leaves, rounder leaf shape or higher chlorophyll content. The plants may be modified to increase the expression of a plant calmodulin-binding protein IQD22, IQD23 or IQD24. The modified plants are expected to have improved yields under variable field conditions. The invention also relates to a method of genetically modifying a plant to have these characteristics. The invention further relates to isolated nucleic acids and polynucleotide constructs for the genetic engineering of such plants and their use.
