  • “Early vigour” refers to active healthy well-balanced growth especially during early stages of plant growth, and may result from increased plant fitness due to, for example, the plants being better adapted to their environment (i.e. optimizing the use of energy resources and partitioning between shoot and root). Plants having early vigour also show increased seedling survival and a better establishment of the crop, which often results in highly uniform fields (with the crop growing in uniform manner, i.e. with the majority of plants reaching the various stages of development at substantially the same time), and often better and higher yield. Therefore, early vigour may be determined by measuring various factors, such as thousand kernel weight, percentage germination, percentage emergence, seedling growth, seedling height, root length, root and shoot biomass and many more. Another indicator for the condition of the plant is the "quality" of a plant and/or its prod- ucts.
  • enhanced quality means that certain crop characteristics such as the content or composition of certain ingredients are increased or improved by a measurable or noticeable amount over the same factor of the control plant produced under the same conditions.
  • the quality of a product of the respective plant becomes manifest in in at least one aspects selected from the group consisting of improved nutrient content, improved protein content, improved content of fatty acids, improved metabolite content, improved carotenoid content, improved sugar content, improved amount of essential and/or non-essential amino acids, improved nutrient com- position, improved protein composition, improved composition of fatty acids, improved metabolite composition, improved carotenoid composition, improved sugar composi- tion, improved amino acids composition, improved or optimal fruit color, improved texture of fruits, improved leaf color, higher storage capacity and/or higher processability of the harvested products as compared to the control.

  • the nutrient yield, protein yield, yield of fatty acids, metabolite yield, carotenoid yield, sugar yield and/or yield of essential and/or non-essential amino acids is calculated as a fuction of seed and/or biomass yield in relation to the respective nutrient, protein, fatty acids, metabolite, carotenoid, sugar and/or essential and/or non-essential amino acids.
  • the increased seed yield manifest itself as one or more of the following: a) an increase in seed biomass (total seed weight) which may be on an individual seed basis and/or per plant and/or per square meter; b) increased number of flowers per plant; c) increased number of (filled) seeds; d) increased seed filling rate (which is expressed as the ratio between the number of filled seeds divided by the total number of seeds); e) increased harvest index, which is expressed as a ratio of the yield of harvestable parts, such as seeds, divided by the total biomass; and f) increased thousand kernel weight (TKW), which is extrapolated from the number of filled seeds counted and their total weight.
  • An increased TKW may result from an increased seed size and/or seed weight, and may also result from an increase in embryo and/or endosperm size.
  • the increase in seed yield is also manifested as an increase in seed size and/or seed volume. Furthermore, an increase in seed yield is also manifest itself as an increase in seed area and/or seed length and/or seed width and/or seed perimeter. In a further embodiment increased yield also results in modified architecture, or may occur because of modified architecture.
  • the beneficial effect of the present invention may manifest itself not in the seed yield per se, but in the seed quality and the quality of the agricultural products produced from the plants treated according to the invention.
  • Seed quality may relate to different parameters known in the art, such as enhanced nutrient or fine chemical content, e.g. amounts of vitamins or fatty acids and their composition; colour- ing or shape of the seed; germination rate or seed vigour; or reduced amounts of toxins, e.g. fungal toxins, and/or of substances hard to digest or indigestible, e.g. phytate, lignin.
  • the "greenness index” as used herein is calculated from digital images of plants. For each pixel belonging to the plant object on the image, the ratio of the green value versus the red value (in the RGB model for encoding colour) is calculated. The greenness index is expressed as the percentage of pixels for which the green-to-red ratio exceeds a given threshold. Under normal growth conditions, under salt stress growth conditions, and under reduced nutrient availability growth conditions, the greenness index of plants is measured in the last imaging before flowering. In contrast, under drought stress growth conditions, the greenness index of plants is measured in the first imaging after drought. Similarly the measurements may be done after exposure to other abiotic stress treatments, e.g. temperature.
  • Biotic stress is caused by living organisms while abiotic stress is caused for example by environmental extremes or conditions unfavourable for an optimal growth of the plant.
  • "enhanced tolerance or resistance to biotic and/or abiotic stress factors” means (1.) that certain negative factors caused by biotic and/or abiotic stress are diminished in a measurable or noticeable amount as compared to control plants exposed to the same conditions, and (2.) that the negative effects are not diminished by a direct action of the composition on the stress factors, for example by its fungicidal or insecticidal action which directly destroys the microorganisms or pests, but rather by a stimulation of the plants' own defensive reactions ("priming") against said stress factors ("induced resistance”) or by the above mentioned synergistic effect.
  • Biotic stress can be caused by living organisms, such as pests (for example insects, arachnides, nematodes), competing plants (for example weeds), microorganisms (such as phythopathogenic fungi and/or bacteria) and/or viruses.
  • Abiotic stress can be caused for example by extremes in temperature such as heat or cold (heat stress, cold stress), strong variations in temperature, temperatures unusual for the specific season, drought (drought stress), extreme wetness, high salinity (salt stress), radiation (for example by increased UV radiation due to the decreasing ozone layer), increased ozone levels (ozone stress), organic pollution (for example by phythotoxic amounts of pesti- cides) and inorganic pollution (for example by heavy metal contaminants). Both biotic as well as abiotic stress factors may in addition lead to secondary stresses such as oxidative stress.
  • enhanced tolerance or resistance to biotic of the respective plant becomes manifest in in at least one aspects selected from the group consisting of tolerance or resistance to pests (for example insects, arachnides, nematodes), competing plants (for example weeds), microorganisms (such as phythopatho- genic fungi and/or bacteria) and/or viruses.

  • the above identified indicators for the health condition of a plant may be interdependent and may result from each other. For example, an increased resistance to biotic and/or abiotic stress may lead to a better plant vigor, e.g. to better and bigger crops, and thus to an increased yield. Inversely, a more developed root system may result in an increased resistance to biotic and/or abiotic stress.
  • these interdependen- cies and interactions are neither all known nor fully understood.
  • plant yield is increased by increasing the environmental stress tolerance(s) of a plant, in particular the tolerance to abiotic stress.
  • the term “increased tolerance to stress” can be defined as survival of plants, and/or higher yield production, under stress conditions as compared to a control plant:
  • the plant of the invention is better adapted to the stress conditions.
  • "Improved adaptation" to environmental stress like e.g. drought, heat, nutrient depletion, freezing and/or chilling temperatures refers herein to an improved plant performance resulting in an increased yield, particularly with regard to one or more of the yield related traits as defined in more detail above.
  • stress condition a condition where biotic stress may be divided into biotic and abiotic (environmental) stresses. Unfavourable nutrient conditions are sometimes also referred to as “environmental stress”. In one embodiment the present invention does also contemplate solutions for this kind of environmental stress, e.g. referring to increased nutrient use efficiency.
  • abiotic stress tolerance(s) refers for example low temperature tolerance, drought tolerance or improved water use efficiency (WUE), heat tolerance, salt stress tolerance and others. Stress tolerance in plants like low temperature, drought, heat and salt stress tolerance can have a common theme important for plant growth, namely the availability of water. Plants are typically exposed during their life cycle to conditions of reduced environmental water content. The protection strategies are similar to those of chilling tolerance.
  • said yield-related trait relates to an increased water use efficiency of the plant of the invention and/ or an increased tolerance to drought conditions of the plant of the invention.
  • WUE is a parameter often correlated with drought tolerance.
  • An increase in biomass at low water availability may be due to relatively improved efficiency of growth or reduced water consumption.
  • a decrease in water use, without a change in growth would have particular merit in an irrigated agricultural system where the water input costs were high.
  • An increase in growth without a corresponding jump in water use would have applicability to all agricultural systems.
  • an increase in growth, even if it came at the expense of an increase in water use also increases yield.
  • an increased plant yield is mediated by increasing the "nutrient use efficiency of a plant", e.g. by improving the nutrient use efficiency of nutrients including, but not limited to, phosphorus, potassium, and nitrogen.
  • An increased nutrient use efficiency is in one embodiment an enhanced nitrogen uptake, assimilation, accumulation or utilization. These complex processes are associated with absorption, translocation, assimilation, and redistribution of nitrogen in the plant.
  • the above mentioned effects of the method according to the invention i.e. enhanced health of the plant, are also present when the plant is not under biotic stress for example when the plant is not under fungal- or pest pressure. It is evident that a plant suffering from fungal or insecticidal attack produces a smaller biomass and a smaller crop yield as compared to a plant which has been subjected to curative or preventive treatment against the pathogenic fungus or pest and which can grow without the damage caused by the biotic stress factor. However, the method according to the invention leads to an enhanced plant health even in the absence of any biotic stress and in particular of any phytopathogenic fungi or pest.
