METHODS OF IMPROVING THE YIELD OF 2,4-D RESISTANT CROP PLANTS

This invention is related to methods for improving plant height and/or yield of crop plants which are resistant to herbicide 2,4-D by treating the plants with 2,4-D at application rates which are not harmful to the plants. In particular, provided is a method using 2,4-D application to increase yield...

Summary:This invention is related to methods for improving plant height and/or yield of crop plants which are resistant to herbicide 2,4-D by treating the plants with 2,4-D at application rates which are not harmful to the plants. In particular, provided is a method using 2,4-D application to increase yield of crop plants which express AAD-12 gene for 2,4-D resistance. The method provided is of particular interest for the treatment of crops plants including maize, soybean, spring and winter oil seed rape (canola), sugar beet, wheat, sunflower, barley, and rice. Cette invention concerne des méthodes permettant d'améliorer la hauteur des plants et/ou le rendement des plants cultivés résistants à l'herbicide 2,4-D en traitant lesdits plants avec le 2,4-D à des vitesses d'application qui n'altèrent pas les plants. L'invention concerne en particulier une méthode consistant à utiliser le 2,4-D pour augmenter le rendement des plants exprimant le gène AAD-12 de résistance au 2,4-D. La méthode présente un intérêt particulier pour le traitement des cultures, notamment celles du maïs, du soja, du colza de printemps et du colza d'hiver (canola), de la betterave à sucre, du blé, du tournesol, de l'orge et du riz.
