~> Subject: B-GE: New Novartis Patent: Final.
>
>
>
> Patent WO9935913 is built up as follows:
> p1-6: description of the "invention" and of the advantageous properties=
.
>
> p6-57: Table A: a list of all kind expressed principles (Herbicide,
> insect, virus, fungal etc. resistancies) and corresponding crop
> phenotypes/tolerances.
> p 57-63: crops to which the "invention" can be applied, auxiliary
> substances that can be used and diffrent kind of apllication methods
> (sprays, powders, granules etc.)
> p63-83: Table B: listing of range of working of different Insecticidal
> Resistancies (Bt. etc.)
> p83-90: Methods for Table B. (see below)
> p90-94: Table C: List of different Herbicide Resistancies.
> p94-121:Methods for table C (see below)
> p121-129: Biological Examples
> p.130: Claims
>
> Some additional info on HR crops.
> First, in part IV one class of HR crops was forgotten:
> Class 9) HPPD =3D Hydroxphenylpyruva: dioxygenase
> Gives tolerance to: Iaoxazoles such as Isoxaflutol, Isoxachlotol.
> Triones such as Sulcotrion, Mesotrion.
>
> A correction for PROTOX: In stead of dioheny it should read:
> diphenylethers.
>
> In table A some more herbicides are mentioned:
> For PROTOX: phenylpyrazoles, phenopylate
> For ALS: phtalides, pyrimidyloxybenzotes
> For ACCase: Aryloxyphenoxyalkanecarbolyxic acids, cyclohexanediones.
> Resistance to Sulfonylureas can also be obtained by Cytochrome P450 eg
> P450 SU1 which also gives resitance to Xenobiotics.
>
> Table A describes resistancies for the following crops: Maize, wheat,
> barley, soy, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, grapes, pome fruits, Brassica
> vegetables, Oil Seed rape, sugarcane, cotton, banana, melons,
> sugarbeet-beetroot, sunflowers.
>
> A typical Method as described in p83-90 (variation only in crop and
> apllied substance) is as follows:
> A method of controlling pests comprising the application of thiamethoxa=
m
> to transgenic rice weherein the combination of the active principle
> expressed by the transgenic plant and the pest to be controlled
> correspond to anyone of the indiviualised combinations of Table B.
>
> For the methods of p.94-121 (the variation is in target insects and
> applied substance)
> it reads:
> A method of controlling representatives of the genus Ephestia comprisin=
g
> the application of Ti-435 to a herbicidically resistant transgenic crop
> wherein the combination of the active principle expressed by the
> transgenic plant and the crop to be protected against the pest
> correspond to anyone of the lines of Table C.
>
> On page 59-60 it states: "It has emerged that the method according to
> the invention is valuable preventatively and/or curatively in the field
> of pest control even at low use concentrations of the pesticidal
> composition and that a very favourable biocidal spectrum is achieved
> thereby. Combined with a favourable compatibility of the composition
> employed with warm blooded species, fish and plants, the method
> according to the invention can be employed against all or individual
> stages of normally sensitive, but also of normally resistant animal
> pests such as insects and representatives of the oreder Acarina,
> depending on the species of the transgenic crop plant to be protected
> from attack by pests.
> The insecticidal and/or acaricidal effect of the method according to =
the
> invention may become apparent directly, i.e in a destruction of the
> pests which occurs immediately or only after some time has elapsed, for
> example, during codysis(?WdL), or indirectly, for example as a reduced
> oviposition and/or hatching rate, the good action corresponding to a
> destruction rate (mortality) of at least 40-50%".
>
> The application was filed 14 january 1999.
> Title of the Patent: The use of Neonicodinoids on transgenic plants.

This one say's maybe in the future you could be eating peppers with the
toxin from scorpions.
That should give the pepper eaters a kick
