Abstract

The present invention is directed to methods of improving heat stress tolerance in plants comprising applying an effective amount of 1-amino-1-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid to the plant.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of improving heat stress tolerance in plants comprising applying an effective amount of 1-amino-1-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid (ACC) to the plant, wherein the plant is selected from the group consisting of wheat, corn, soybean, cotton, tomato,  Brassica napus , bean, lettuce, turf grass and an ornamental plant. 
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the plant is wheat. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the plant is lettuce. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the plant is soybean. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the plant is  Brassica napus . 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the effective amount is from about 1 to about 1,000 parts per million. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the effective amount is from about 10 to about 300 parts per million. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the effective amount is from about 30 to about 300 parts per million. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the effective amount is from about 30 to about 100 parts per million. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the effective amount is from about 10 to about 100 parts per million. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the effective amount is from about 10 to about 30 parts per million. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the ACC is applied to the plant as a spray. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the ACC is applied to the plant as a foliar spray. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the ACC is applied to the plant during developmental stage of the plant. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the ACC is applied to the wheat from Feekes stage 2 to Feekes stage 11. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the ACC is applied to the wheat at Feekes stage 5. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the ACC is applied to the wheat from Feekes stage 10.4 to Feekes stage 10.5. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the ACC is applied to the lettuce at rosette stage of the lettuce. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the ACC is applied to the soybean from V1 to V4 stage. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the ACC is applied to the  Brassica napus  plant at flowering stage of the  Brassica napus  plant.
