Traits that are furthermore particularly emphasized are the increased tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidally active compounds, for example imidazolinones, sulfonylureas, glyphosate or phosphinotricin (for example the “PAT” gene).
  • the genes which impart the desired traits in question can also be present in combination with one another in the transgenic plants.
  • Bt plants are maize varieties, cotton varieties, soya bean varieties and potato varieties which are sold under the trade names YIELD GARD® (for example maize, cotton, soya beans), KnockOut® (for example maize), StarLink® (for example maize), Bollgard® (cotton), Nucoton® (cotton) and NewLeaf® (potato).
  • YIELD GARD® for example maize, cotton, soya beans

  • N-(4′-Bromo-1,1′-biphenyl-2-yl)-4-(difluoromethyl)-2-methyl-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxamide (0.3 g, 0.7 mmol) is initially charged in tetrahydrofuran (20 ml), and sodium hydride (60%, 34 mg, 0.85 mmol) is added. After 15 min at room temperature, acetyl chloride (50 ⁇ l, 0.7 mmol) is added, and the mixture is stirred at 50° C. for 5 h.
  • the mixture is washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and extracted with ethyl acetate, and the extract is dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure.
  • N-(4′-Chloro-1,1 ′-biphenyl-2-yl)-4-(difluoromethyl)-2-methyl-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxamide (0.3 g, 0.8 mmol) is initially charged in tetrahydrofuran, and sodium hydride (60%, 23 mg, 1.0 mmol) is added. After 15 min at room temperature, methyl iodide (100 ⁇ l, 1.6 mmol) is added and the mixture is heated under reflux for 16 h.
  • the mixture is washed with sodium bicarbonate solution and extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic phase is dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated.
  • the determination is carried out in the acidic range at pH 2.3 using the mobile phases 0.1% aqueous phosphoric acid and acetonitrile; linear gradient from 10% acetonitrile to 90% acetonitrile.
  • Calibration is carried out using unbranched alkan-2-ones (having 3 to 16 carbon atoms) with known logP values (determination of the logP values by the retention times using linear interpolation between two successive alkanones).
  • the lambda max values were determined in the maxima of the chromatographic signals using the UV spectra from 200 nm to 400 nm.
  • active compound 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amounts of solvents and emulsifier, and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired concentration.
  • Evaluation is carried out 7 days after the inoculation. 0% means an efficacy which corresponds to that of the control, whereas an efficacy of 100% means that no infection is observed.
  • Active compounds, application rates and test results are shown in the table below. TABLE A Sphaerotheca test (cucumber)/protective Active compound application Ex. Active compound rate in g/ha % efficacy 4 100 100 6 100 100 1 100 100 2 100 95
  • active compound 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amounts of solvents and emulsifier, and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired concentration.
  • the plants are then placed in a greenhouse at about 21° C. and a relative atmospheric humidity of about 90%.
  • active compound 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amounts of solvents and emulsifier, and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired concentration.
  • active compound 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amounts of solvent and emulsifier, and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired concentration.
