Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to agriculture and in particular to methods of improving or controlling the growth of plants. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods of controlling pests in plants during the growth of the plants, particularly in the early stages of growth. Even more particularly, the present invention relates to methods of enhancing the pest resistance of plants, particularly cotton plants. Even more particularly, the present invention relates to the use of certain selected chemical compounds, such as for example glycine betaine, for enhancing or improving pest resistance already present in the plants, so as to increase the yield and quality of cotton. The present invention finds particular application in methods of administering glycine betaine and other related chemical compounds to transgenic cotton varieties having the Bt gene introduced into the plant .
- certain selected chemical compounds such as for example glycine betaine
- pests which can attack cotton plants at various stages during the life of the plants are the lepidopteran insect pests, such as tobacco budworms, bollworxns, cotton bollworms, pink bollworms, podworms, earwor s, fruitworms and the like.
- lepidopteran insect pests such as tobacco budworms, bollworxns, cotton bollworms, pink bollworms, podworms, earwor s, fruitworms and the like.
- the maturing cotton plants are additionally subjected to stress at the time of suffering pest attack, such as stress induced by lack of water, excess water, excessively cold conditions, or other environmental conditions or the like, the deterioration of the plants is increased, thereby further reducing the economic value of such plants. This is manifest by the shedding of even more squares.
- Another way of combating pest attack has been to genetically alter the plant so that it has enhanced resistance to pest attack.
- Examples of plants that have increased pest resistance are the transgenic cotton varieties, particularly the various transgenic cotton varieties produced by the Monsanto Company of the USA, such as the so-called "Bt" transgenic cotton varieties.
- the Bt transgenic cotton varieties have been altered via genetic engineering techniques and contain a synthetic gene derived from Bacillus thuringiensis ("Bt"), a common bacterium that naturally produces a protein toxic to a narrow range of insects.
- Bt Bacillus thuringiensis
- the genes inserted into the cotton plants encode proteins that are specific to lepidopteran (caterpillar) larvae, including the two Helicoverpa species which are a major pest in the production of cotton using the traditional non-modified cotton varieties.
- the transgenic plants produce the proteins, which are toxic to the Helicoverpa species so that insect feeding on the plants is inhibited which subsequently leads to the death of the insect larvae eating the plant. This pest resistance is an inherent property of such cotton plants which have been modified.
- the Bt toxin is non-toxic to humans and animals and is also readily biodegradable.
- the target specificity of the Bt protein and its location within the tissues of the plant ensure that the protein is active only against the attacking insect pest species.
- Incorporation of the Bt gene directly into the cotton plant greatly enhances the efficacy of the Bt protein in insect control.
- the incorporation of the Bt gene into the transgenic cotton varieties has met with some success, it has been discovered that under some circumstances, including some environmental conditions, such as for example when the cotton plant having the Bt gene is subjected to one form or another of stress, the pest resistance provided by the modified form of the cotton is reduced to a level which is below that which is desirable or effective, i.e.
- the pest resistance of the Bt cotton varieties does not meet its expected performance in times of stress occurring in the plants. Therefore, whilst the Bt cotton varieties do exhibit increased pest resistance over non-modified varieties, the extent or degree of this pest resistance is not satisfactory in all circumstances and varies widely in different conditions. Therefore, there is a need to improve or enhance the pest resistance of the Bt modified cotton plants, particularly in circumstances where the plant is subjected to stress or stress-inducing conditions.
- pest resistance enhancers such as for example glycine betaine
- a growing plant such as for example a cotton plant, and more typically a Bt modified cotton plant
- pest resistance enhancers such as for example glycine betaine
- a method of treating a plant to improve or enhance the pest resistance of the plant comprising administering an effective amount of a selected pest resistance enhancing chemical compound to the plant such that the pest resistance of the plant is improved to a level above that which is already possessed by the plant when not so treated, in order to enhance the growth of the plant to provide a greater yield thereby increasing the economic value of the plant.
- the plant to which the chemical compound promoting enhanced pest resistance (the enhancer) of the present invention is administered is cotton.
- the cotton plants are transgenic cotton varieties, typically Bt modified cotton varieties developed by Monsanto Company of the USA. More typically, the cotton varieties are marketed under the registered trade mark INGARDTM or BOLLGARDTM, which varieties were developed to deliver a natural insecticidal protein isolated from Bacillus thuringiensis or Bt for the control of tobacco budworms, cotton bollworms and pink bollworms and the like.
- INGARDTM or BOLLGARDTM which varieties were developed to deliver a natural insecticidal protein isolated from Bacillus thuringiensis or Bt for the control of tobacco budworms, cotton bollworms and pink bollworms and the like.
- the present invention can be used on any plants having inherent pest resistance whether occurring naturally or as a result of genetic engineering or the like.
- the selected chemical compound promoting the enhanced pest resistance is an organic solute, an amino acid, a betaine, a sugar, a polyol, or related compounds to the foregoing, and the like.
- the pest resistance enhancing chemical compound is an ammonio compound, such as a N-methyl substituted amino acid, proline, choline or a betaine, such as glycine betaine (oxyneurine) and other betaine member compounds including the sulphonio analogues of the betaines.
- Other betaines include proline betaine, ⁇ -alanine betaine, tryptophan betaine, histidine betaine, 2-mercaptohistidine betaine, and the like.
- the pest resistance enhancer is a nitrogenous compatible solute, such as stachydrine, trigonelline, homostachydrine (pipecolate betaine) .
- particularly preferred pest resistance enhancers are the betaines, particularly the glycine derivative.
- Betaine refers to fully N-methylated amino acids.
- Glycine betaine has three methyl groups attached to the nitrogen atom of the glycine molecule and is usually called betaine, glycino-betaine, trimethyl glycine or l-carboxy-N,N,N-trimethylmethanaminium hydroxide, and has the following structural formula: CH 3 -N + (CH 3 ) (CH 3 ) CH 2 COO "
- Other pest resistance enhancers include glycine, methylene glycine, dimethyl glycine, glutamic acid, ⁇ -aminobutyric acid, trimethylamine ⁇ -butyric acid, or the like.
- the enhancer is administered alone or in combination with one or more other materials.
- the other materials include additives such as wetting agents, other adjuvants, defoliants, growth regulators, pesticides, nutrients and the like. The other material can be added separately or in combination with the enhancer.
- the pest resistance enhancer is preferably applied with a wetting agent, such as for example MONSOONTM (obtainable from Cyanamid) , or is applied in combination with a wetting agent, mineral oil and/or vegetable oil.
- a wetting agent such as for example MONSOONTM (obtainable from Cyanamid)
- mineral oil and/or vegetable oil are examples of mineral oil or vegetable oils.
- specific examples of the mineral oil include DC- TRONTM (a registered trade mark of AMPOL Australia Ltd) which is a narrow range boiling point mineral oil
- specific examples of the vegetable oil include rapeseed based vegetable oils such as SYNETROLTM.
- the amount of pest resistance enhancer, typically glycine betaine, administered to the growing cotton plant is such so as to increase the retention of squares, fruiting forms or bolls in cotton thereby increasing the yield of the cotton plants.
- the plant has increased resistance to attack from members of the two Helicoverpa species or lepidopteran species, such as for example tobacco budworm, bollworm, cotton bollworm, pink bollworm, podworm, earworm, fruitworm and the like.
- members of the two Helicoverpa species or lepidopteran species such as for example tobacco budworm, bollworm, cotton bollworm, pink bollworm, podworm, earworm, fruitworm and the like.
- the glycine betaine is administered to the cotton plants in a dose of from about 0.1 to 30.0 kg/ha, typically from 0.1 to 10.0 or 20.0 kg/ha, preferably from 0.5 to 7.0 kg/ha with typical dosages being about 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 kg/ha and preferable dosages being between about
- the enhancer is applied externally or exogenously to the plants, such as for example to the leaves of the plant.
- the enhancer is applied by any suitable means such as spraying, including ground spraying, aerial spraying or the like.
- the stress-inducing conditions or stress is attributable to environmental stress, such as for example relating to temperature, water, salinity, light, nutritional stress, pest attack, and the like, including too little or too much water, too low or too high temperatures, too high salt concentration, and the like.
- the enhancer with or without additives is applied in one, two, three, four, five, six or more sprayings either on the one day or on separate days, either regularly or irregularly spaced apart from each other.
- the enhancer is applied to the plants at any time from planting to harvesting, more typically from about 20 days before first flowering ("FF") to about 30 days after FF, even more typically from about slightly before FF, say a few days, to slightly after FF, say about a few days. Most typically, the plants are sprayed at FF.
- FF first flowering
- the improvement (reduction) in the amount of damaged squares of the cotton plants is from about 1% or 2% to about 200%, more typically up to about 150%, preferably 100% or the like.
- the object of this example is to determine the effect of foliar application of glycine betaine on square and boll retention on cotton which has been treated with a pest resistance enhancer in both normal irrigation regimes and water-reduced irrigation regimes.
- TJT + W no glycine betaine applied to the plants, and the plants subjected to a first irrigation.
- the conditions existing at the time of this treatment were in effect stress-inducing since shortly after irrigation there was a cold snap which resulted in the cotton plants suffering the stress of low temperature. This is an example of normal environmental factors combining to produce stress-inducing conditions on the cotton plants.
- the variety of cotton used in this example was provided by the Monsanto Company under the name INGARDTM which is a cotton variety having the Bt gene.
- the amount of damaged squares in treatment UT - W was about 18.1% when not treated with an enhancer, whereas in treatment 3 - when treated with an enhancer there was only 15.6% damage. Again, there is a reduction in the amount of damaged squares when the cotton plants are relatively stress-free.
- Example 2 This trial was to determine the effect of dosages of 3.0 kg/ha of glycine betaine enhancer upon fruit retention in irrigated cotton when water stress occurs at different times within the boll formation period in transgenic cotton varieties.
- the water stress was introduced by withholding the first, second and third irrigations.
- the stress levels were quantified by periodic measurement of volumetric soil water using a neutron probe.
- Treatment 1 corresponds to a single administration of glycine betaine enhancer applied at a dosage rate of 3.0 kg/ha at FF with the first irrigation omitted, which resulted in 29% damaged squares.
- Treatment 2 corresponds to Treatment 1 (above) except that no glycine betaine enhancer was administered which resulted in 47% damaged squares.
- Treatment 3 corresponds to a single administration of glycine betaine enhancer applied at a dosage rate of 3.0 kg/ha at FF with the second and third irrigations omitted, which resulted in 27% damaged squares.
- Treatment 4 corresponds to Treatment 3 (above) except that no glycine betaine enhancer was administered which resulted in 43% damaged squares.
- Treatment 5 corresponds to a single administration of glycine betaine enhancer at a dosage rate of 3.0 kg/ha at FF with all three irrigations carried out (i.e. normal irrigation) which resulted in 19% damaged squares.
- Treatment 6 corresponds to Treatment 5 (above) except that no glycine betaine was applied which resulted in 38% damaged squares.
- Treatment 7 corresponds to two separate administrations of glycine betaine each at a dosage rate of 1.5 kg/ha of glycine betaine, the first being applied at FF and the second at 14 days after FF with normal irrigation being carried out, which resulted in 41% damaged squares.
- Treatment 8 corresponds to a single administration of glycine betaine at a dosage rate of 3.0 kg/ha at 14 days after FF with normal irrigation being carried out, which resulted in 39% damaged squares.
- Treatment 5 which is the treatment of the present invention involving the administration of glycine betaine
- Treatment 6 involving no treatment
- the cotton plants are sprayed with glycine betaine as compared to not being sprayed with glycine betaine since the number of damaged squares is considerably reduced.
- Treatment 2 Comparing the results obtained in Treatment 2 with Treatment 1 which relates to a more stress-indu ing environment due to the lack of the first irrigation, there is a reduction from 47% damaged squares for the untreated cotton as compared to 29% damaged squares for the treated cotton.
- Treatment 7 suggests that splitting the administration of the enhancer into two separate applications is probably not as effective as a single treatment of the same amount of enhancer since the split administration results in 41% damaged squares as compared to 19% for the single treatment.
- the delayed application (14 days after FF) had no significant effect on the number of undamaged squares or the height of the crop (Table 2). While splitting the application had no significant effect on height it significantly reduced the number of undamaged squares.
- the objective of this example was to determine the effect of glycine betaine treatment on subsequent infestations of Helicoverpa spp.
- the cultivars used in the trial of this example were:
- Siokra L-22 (Okra leaf ex CSD) , a conventional cotton species
- the crop was inspected on several occasions for Helicoverpa infestation, such as at 72, 82 and 98 days after application of the glycine betaine to the various cotton plants, respectively.
- Boll assessment occurred at 106 to 110 days after application of the glycine betaine.
- Untreated and treated transgenic cotton reduced the proportion of damaged bolls at harvest by about 25% and 50%, respectively, compared with conventional cotton.
