摘要:
The subject invention relates to a low cost method of producing peptides, including antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), by using microbes. The subject methods enable greatly improved yields of the peptide/AMP as compared to those heretofore known in the art. The subject methods also surprisingly enable the use of Pseudomonas fluorescens to produce AMPs and other peptides. There are several components of the subject invention, which can be used alone or in combination. The subject invention provides for the production of peptides/AMPs in concatemeric precursors. The subject invention also provides novel methods of assembling monomers into multimers, and of cleaving the multimers to yield active monomers. The subject invention also relates to the use of these multimers fused to carrier peptides to produce fusion proteins. Preferably, both the multimers and the fusion proteins (multimers with the carrier polypeptides) lack charge balancing. It has been surprisingly determined that it is not necessary to offset the positive charges of multiple copies of AMPs in multimeric constructs. Thus, the subject invention enables the use of a wider range of multimers and carrier peptides.

Crop oil concentrates are disclosed which not only increase the herbicidal efficacy of herbicides from diverse chemical classes, but moreover assist in defeating the apparent antagonism which often arises when two or more herbicides are utilized together.

摘要:
The herbicidal action of a herbicidal triazine upon weeds is enchanced upon also applying to the weeds a second herbicidal component, a butyl or pentyl glycol sulfonate or glycol sulfamate having 3, 5 or 3 substituted phenyl in the 2-position of the butyl or pentyl chain. The glycol sulfonate or sulfamate also adds its own herbicidal action to increase effectiveness.Both components are applied simultaneously as a novel composition which may also contain crop oil or crop oil concentrate. Application is made post-emergently before weeds reach about the 8 leaf stage. Advantageously, in an additional step, triazine alone or in combination with at least some of the sulfonate or sulfamate is also applied at planting or very early postemergently prior to the treatment described.

The invention described here concerns the unique utility of fatty acids and their derivatives to eradicate existing fungal and bacterial infections in plants. Also, described herein are combination treatments whereby fatty acids are used to enhance or augment the activity of fungicides, bactericides, and biological control agents.
