The present invention provides herbicide-tolerant plants. The present invention also provides methods for controlling the growth of weeds by applying an herbicide to which herbicide-tolerant plants of the invention are tolerant. Plants of the invention may express an acetyl-Coenzyme A carboxylase enzyme that is tolerant to the action of acetyl-Coenzyme A carboxylase enzyme inhibitors.

An iterative approach to dynamic covalent polymerizations of elemental sulfur with functional comonomers to prepare sulfur prepolymers that can further react with other conventional, commercially available comonomers to prepare a wider class of functional sulfur polymers. This iterative method improves handling, miscibility and solubility of the elemental sulfur, and further enables tuning of the sulfur polymer composition. The sulfur polymers may be a thermoplastic or a thermoset for use in elastomers, resins, lubricants, coatings, antioxidants, cathode materials for electrochemical cells, and polymeric articles such as polymeric films and free-standing substrates.

The present disclosure provides methods and compositions for inhibiting degradation of dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS) in solution. Concentrate compositions include DMTS and polar inorganic or organic solvent. The compositions can be stored in containers for at least 2 weeks at 54° C. or at least one year at room temperature and less than 50% of the DMTS degrades. The concentrate compositions can be diluted for use and combined with other components to form various solutions.

In crop production in the fields of agriculture, horticulture and the like, the damage caused by insect pests etc. is still immense, and insect pests resistant to existing insecticides have emerged. Under such circumstances, the development of novel agricultural and horticultural insecticides is desired. The present invention provides an amide compound represented by the general formula (I):

##STR00001##

(wherein A.sup.1, A.sup.2 and A.sup.3 each represent a nitrogen atom or a CH group, R.sup.1 represents an alkyl group, R.sup.2 and R.sup.4 each represent a haloalkyl group, R.sup.3 represents an alkyl group, and m represents 0, 1 or 2) or a salt thereof; an agricultural and horticultural insecticide and microbicide comprising the compound or a salt thereof as an active ingredient; and a method for using the insecticide and microbicide.
