Abstract
Disclosed herein are method of enhancing plant growth, comprising treating a plant seed and/or the plant that germinates from the seed with an effective amount of at least one chitoogilosaccharide (CO) less than one month prior to planting the seed and the seed is not also treated with a lipo-chitooligosaccharide (LCO). The treatment results in increased plant yield measured in terms of bushels/acre, increased root number, increased root length, increased root mass, increased root volume and increased leaf area, compared to plants harvested from untreated seed. ligosaccharide (LCO). The treatment results in increased plant yield measured in terms of bushels/acre, increased root number, increased root length, increased root mass, increased root volume and increased leaf area, compared to plants harvested from untreated seed.
Description
compound, or an herbicide, and which can be applied to seeds and/or plants concomitantly or
sequentially. As in the case of the '899 Publication, the '958 Publication teaches treatment of
seeds just prior to planting.
More recently, Halford, "Smoke Signals," in Chem. Eng. News (April 12, 2010), at
pages 37-38, reports that karrikins or butenolides which are contained in smoke act as growth
stimulants and spur seed germination after a forest fire, and can invigorate seeds such as corn,
tomatoes, lettuce and onions that had been stored. These molecules are the subject of U.S.
Patent 7,576,213.
There is, however, still a need for systems for improving or enhancing plant growth.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006A] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method of enhancing plant
growth, comprising treating a plant seed with an effective amount of at least one chitin
oligomer less than one month prior to planting the seed wherein:
upon harvesting, the plant exhibits at least one of increased plant yield measured in
terms of bushels/acre, increased root number, increased root length, increased root mass,
increased root volume and increased leaf area, compared to plants harvested from untreated
seed, and
the plant seed is not treated with a lipo-chitooligosaccharide.
[0006B] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a seed treated according to the
method of the first aspect.
[0006C] In a third aspect, the present invention provides a plant germinated from the seed of
the second aspect.
The present invention relates to a method of enhancing plant growth, comprising a)
treating (e.g., applying to) plant seed or a plant that germinates from the seed, with an effective
amount of at least one chitooligosaccharide (CO), wherein upon harvesting the plant exhibits at
least one of increased plant yield measured in terms of bushels/acre, increased root number,
increased root length, increased root mass, increased root volume and increased leaf area,
compared to untreated plants or plants harvested from untreated seed.
In some embodiments, at least two CO's are used. In some embodiments, treatment of
the seed includes direct application of the at least one CO onto the seed, which may then be
planted or stored for a period of time prior to planting. Treatment of the seed may also include
indirect treatment such as by introducing the at least one CO into the soil (known in the art as
in-furrow
21167329_1
application). In yet other embodiments, the at least one CO may be applied to the plant that
germinates from the seed, e.g., via foliar spray. The methods may further include use of
other agronomically beneficial agents, such as micronutrients, fatty acids and derivatives
thereof, plant signal molecules (other than CO's), such as lipochitooligosaccharides,
chitinous compounds (other than COs), flavonoids, jasmonic acid, linoleic acid and
linolenic acid and their derivatives, and karrikins), herbicides, fungicides and insecticides,
phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms, diazotrophs (Rhizobia! inoculants), and/or
mycorrhizal fungi,
The methods of the present invention are applicable to legumes and non-legumes
alike. In some embodiments, the leguminous seed is soybean seed.
