The present invention relates to the use of known 5-pyridin-4-yl-1,3-thiazoles for controlling phytopathogenic fungi in plants and parts of plants, and also to methods for controlling phytopathogenic fungi in plants and parts of plants in crop protection, and also to crop protection compositions comprising these 5-pyridin-4-yl-1,3-thiazoles.

Use of 5 pyridin-4-yl-1,3-thiazoles for controlling phytopathogenic fungi

The present invention relates to methods for identifying fungicides and also inhibitors of the 20S and 26S proteasomes, to methods for isolating 20S proteasomes, to the use of 20S proteasomes for identifying fungicides and to the use of the inhibitors of 26S and/or 20S proteasomes as fungicides.

Methods for identifying inhibitors of the 20S and 26S proteasome

The invention relates to polypeptides from phytopathogenic fungi with the biological activity of an inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase, to nucleic acids encoding them, to the use of the polypeptides and nucleic acids for identifying modulators of the polypeptides, to methods for identifying such modulators, and to the use of these modulators as fungicides.

Polypeptides for identifying fungicidally active compounds

The present invention relates to a method for increasing the growth rate of cells in static liquid media by using gelatinising agents and to a method for increasing the expression of genes in these cells, and also to the use of gelatinising agents, such as xanthan, in these methods.

The present invention relates to DNA isolated from,which encodes or hybridizes to DNA which encodes a protein that repels pests. Such DNA is useful in the transformation of vectors, host organisms and plants and for the production of plants which exhibit an increased resistance to pests.

Resistance genes

Chimaeric DNA sequence which encodes: 1) a transmit peptide of a cytoplasmic precursor of a chloroplast protein or polypeptide of a plant and 2) a protein or polypeptide that is heterologous to the transit peptide. The chimaeric DNA sequence can be used as a vector for transforming a plant cell so that a chimaeric precursor of the heterologous protein or polypeptide is produced in the cytoplasm of the cell and the chimaeric precursor then transports the heterologous protein or polypeptide in vivo into a chloroplast of the cell.

Chimaeric gene coding for a transit peptide and a heterologous peptide

A stilbene synthase gene. More particularly, a stilbene synthase gene in which the stilbene synthase is resveratrol synthase. Also more particularly a stilbene synthase gene which is obtained from groundnut (Arachis hypogaea). Furthermore a stilbene synthase gene, corresponding to the stilbene synthase gene which is contained in the plasmid pGS 828.1, and DNA sequences acting in essentially the same say. Still further, a stilbene synthase gene unit which comprises approximately 6,700 base pairs and exhibits 3 EcoRI, 3 HindIII and 1 PstI cleavage sites, and which can be obtained by partial cleavage of the plasmid PGS 828.1 using EcoRI and HindIII, or from plasmid pGS 828.1 using SstI and PvuII.

The present invention relates to novel, recombinant deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA), to vectors and host organisms which contain them, and to transgenic plants which contain the recombinant DNA and possess an elevated resistance toward pernicious organisms and plant diseases, where the recombinant deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) are characterized in that they consist of a combination of the following components, or components possessing a DNA which in each case has the same effect, or contain these constituents:

The present invention relates to novel, recombinant deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA), to vectors and host organisms which contain them, and to transgenic plants which contain the recombinant DNA and possess an elevated resistance toward pernicious organisms and plant diseases, where the recombinant deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) are characterized in that they consist of a combination of the following components, or components possessing a DNA which in each case has the same effect, or contain these constituents: (a) a double-stranded cDNA fragment which is derived from the RNA of the plum pox virus (PPV) ('fragment A'), and (b) a double-stranded cDNA fragment which is derived from the S RNA of the tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) ('fragment B'), it being possible for these combinations also to possess, in addition to further DNA fragments which may optionally be present, a promoter which is active in plant cells.
