Abstract
Methods and compositions comprising design of enlarged pectins are provided. Elaborated pectins are useful for a multitude of functions including surface coating, penetrant, additive and gell. Methods according to the present invention comprise steps for treatments to one or more live pectic cells in one or more compositions that result in modified pectins. In specific embodiments, methods are provided for applying the nanotechnology to live cells for carriage and incorporation of polar compounds.
Claims28
A composition comprising a Ca2+-chelator, a plant nutrient, and a saccharide.
A foliar additive comprising a methyl glucoside;
- magnesium disodium ethylenediaminetetracetate;
- iron hydroxyethyethylenediaminetriacetate;
- and manganese diammonium ethylenediaminetetracetate.
A method of increasing the turgidity of a plant, comprising applying to said plant an effective amount of a composition comprising a plant nutrient, a Ca2+-chelator, and a saccharide.
A method for the in vivo manipulation of pectin in a living organism to allow for the penetration into said organism of an active ingredient, comprising applying to said pectin a Ca2+-chelator and a saccharide.
A method of inhibiting transpiration in a plant, followed by enhancing transpiration in said plant, comprising coating said plant with a saccharide, followed by applying to said plant a composition comprising a Ca2+-chelator and a saccharide.
A plant having at least one molecule of pectin modified by subjecting said pectin to Ca2+-chelation with a Ca2+-chelator, and thereby binding a saccharide thereto.
