A method of producing an agricultural product for improving immunity, the agriculture product being rice, includes: (1) soaking seeds of the agricultural product in a solution containing a magnetic material and a β-glucan; (2) before planting the seeds, applying a bottom fertilizer to a paddy field for the agricultural product, the bottom fertilizer including an organic fertilizer, the magnetic material, an oyster shell powder, the β-glucan and an organic zinc; and (3) at tillering stage, applying a topdressing to the paddy filed, the topdressing including the β-glucan and the organic zinc.

This disclosure relates to methods and compositions with enhanced levels of one or more tyramine containing hydroxycinnamic acid amides. Also disclosed herein are methods for producing a consumable product with enhanced levels of a tyramine containing hydroxycinnamic acid amide. Some embodiments relate to a composition enriched with a tyramine containing hydroxycinnamic acid.

Provided herein are processes for the preparation of treated seeds. Generally, the processes described herein include providing a single, solid one-piece body. The single, solid one-piece body has a selected mass and volume. The process further includes reducing the single, solid one-piece body, and contacting the seeds with the seed treatment component.

The present disclosure relates to methods of producing viable Cannabis sativa seeds by inducing male flowers on a genetically female Cannabis sativa plant. The pollen produced by the induced flowers of such plant can be used to pollinate female flowers from the same plant or another female plant to produce seed. In certain embodiments, feminised Cannabis sativa seed is produced on a production scale.

Compositions and methods for enhancing disease resistance in plants are disclosed.

Compositions and methods for enhancing disease resistance in plants are disclosed.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising methyl jasmonate and a polysiloxane polyether for increasing the content of glucosinolates in adult plants of the genus Brassica, for example, broccoli. By means of foliar application of the composition on adult plants having a developed cuticle, a significant increase is achieved in the concentrations of glucosinolates (mainly glucoraphanin and neoglucobrassicin), in the floret of the plants, without degrading the organoleptic properties thereof.

A watermelon plant that produces fruit having (i) ultra-firm flesh and/or liquid-retaining flesh and (ii) soluble solids of at least about 6 brix.

Provided are methods for increasing the efficiency of creating doubled haploid plants by increasing the number of chances of forming a double haploid seed through treatment of a monocot plant with a plant growth regulator. In certain embodiments, maize plants are produced that comprise multiple co-dominant ears. Also provided are plants comprising the potential to generate increased numbers of doubled haploid offspring.
