Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel strains of Streptomyces microflavus and methods of their use for controlling diseases or pests of a plant. The invention also relates to a fermentation broth obtained by cultivating a gougerotin producing Streptomyces strain, wherein the fermentation broth contains at least about 2 g/L gougerotin. The invention also relates to a method of producing a fermentation broth of a gougerotin producing Streptomyces strain, wherein the fermentation broth contains at least about 2 g/L gougerotin, the method comprising cultivating the Streptomyces strain in a culture medium containing a digestible carbon source and a digestible nitrogen source under aerobic conditions.

Abstract:
The cotton variety FM 1320GL is disclosed. The invention relates to seeds, plants, plant cells, plant tissue, harvested products and cotton lint as well as to hybrid cotton plants and seeds obtained by repeatedly crossing plants of variety FM 1320GL with other plants. The invention also relates to plants and varieties produced by the method of essential derivation from plants of FM 1320GL and to plants of FM 1320GL reproduced by vegetative methods, including but not limited to tissue culture of regenerable cells or tissue from FM 1320GL.
Abstract:
A liquid herbicidal composition is provided, comprising: a. 20 to 35 percent by weight, based on the total weight of the composition, of a water-soluble herbicidal ingredient; b. a C12-C16 alkyl ether sulfate; c. an organic solvent; and d. an alkyl polyglucoside. The composition is stable; i.e., it occurs in a substantially continuous, single phase at temperatures as low as −20° C. It also has a viscosity of no more than 2000 cps at temperatures as low as 0° C.
Abstract:
A mixing device includes a base, shaft, impeller sleeve, and impeller blades. The base can be constructed for releasable attachment to an opening of a container, such as a 55-gallon drum. The shaft extends from the base and is coupled thereto such that rotation can be transmitted to the shaft by way of or through the base. The impeller sleeve is mounted on the shaft and supports the impeller blades. Each impeller blade includes an attachment leg and a stirring leg extending from the attachment leg. The impeller blades are supported so as to transition from a collapsed position with the stirring leg proximal to a central axis of the shaft to an extended position with the stirring leg distal from the central axis when the shaft is rotated. Each impeller blade can be formed of a plastic, such as a glass-filled polypropylene or glass-filled nylon.
Abstract:
The soybean variety DLL1347 is disclosed. The invention relates to seeds, plants, plant cells, plant tissue, harvested products and soybean lint as well as to hybrid soybean plants and seeds obtained by repeatedly crossing plants of variety DLL1347 with other plants. The invention also relates to plants and varieties produced by the method of essential derivation from plants of DLL1347 and to plants of DLL1347 reproduced by vegetative methods, including but not limited to tissue culture of regenerable cells or tissue from DLL1347.
Abstract:
The soybean variety DLL1172 is disclosed. The invention relates to seeds, plants, plant cells, plant tissue, harvested products and soybean lint as well as to hybrid soybean plants and seeds obtained by repeatedly crossing plants of variety DLL1172 with other plants. The invention also relates to plants and varieties produced by the method of essential derivation from plants of DLL1172 and to plants of DLL1172 reproduced by vegetative methods, including but not limited to tissue culture of regenerable cells or tissue from DLL1172.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least one biological control agent selected from the group consisting of Streptomyces strains, preferably gougerotin-producing Streptomyces strains such as Streptomyces microflavus strain NRRL B-50550 and/or a mutant thereof having all the identifying characteristics of the respective strain, and/or at least one metabolite produced by the respective strain that exhibits activity against insects, mites, nematodes and/or phytopathogens and at least one fungicide (I) in a synergistically effective amount, with the proviso that the biological control agent and fungicide (I) are not identical. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of this composition as well as a method for reducing overall damage of plants and plant parts.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to the molecular cloning of a gougerotin biosynthetic gene cluster from Streptomyces microflavus, and identification of individual genes in the gene cluster as well as the proteins encoded thereby. A gougerotin gene cluster comprising 13 open reading frames (ORFs) is located within a genetic locus of Streptomyces microflavus. The gougerotin gene cluster further comprises another 11 ORFs, which are also disclosed. Gougerotin analogs and methods for producing them by manipulation of the gougerotin gene cluster and the genes therein are also disclosed.
