The present invention is generally directed to fusion proteins containing a targeting sequence that targets the fusion protein to the exosporium of a Bacillus cereus family member. The invention also relates to recombinant Bacillus cereus family members expressing such fusion proteins, formulations containing the recombinant Bacillus cereus family members expressing the fusion proteins. Methods for stimulating plant growth and for protecting plants from pathogens by applying the recombinant Bacillus cereus family members or the formulations to plants or a plant growth medium are also described. The invention also relates to methods for immobilizing spores of a recombinant Bacillus cereus family member expressing a fusion protein on plant roots.

Provided is a herbicidal composition comprising a PPO inhibitor and glufosinate or its salt, wherein the weight ratio of the PPO inhibitor to glufosinate or its salt is less than 1/2,000. The herbicidal composition can effectively control weeds with reduced crop injury.

The present invention relates to an herbicidal composition particularly stable at lower temperatures. The present invention provides a stable herbicidal composition comprising at least one pesticide in its salt form and a crystal habit modifying system comprising an alkoxylated alcohol and a polymer. Further the invention relates to a stable herbicidal composition comprising at least two pesticides in their salt form and a crystal habit modifying system comprising an alkoxylated alcohol and a polymer.

The invention refers to plants comprising wild-type or mutated Alopecurus PPO enzymes, and methods of obtaining such plants. The present invention further refers to a method for controlling weeds at a plant cultivation site, the method comprising the steps of providing, at said site, a plant that comprises at least one nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a wild-type or a mutated Alopecurus PPO enzyme which is resistant or tolerant to a PPO-inhibiting herbicide by applying to said site an effective amount of said herbicide.
