Description

BIOLOGICAL EXAMPLES

[0421] In Vitro Analyses

[0422] Effects of the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) on the behavior of plants under abiotic stress and the mechanism of action of ABA are described in the literature (cf. Abrams et al., WO97/23441, Park et al. Science, 2009, 324, 1068; Grill et al. Science, 2009, 324, 1064; Tanokura et al. Biophysics, 2011, 7, 123; Schroeder et al. Plant J. 2010, 61, 290). Therefore, it is possible with the aid of a suitable in vitro test system to derive a correlation between the action of ABA and the stress response of a plant under abiotic stress. In the event of water deficiency (drought stress), plants form the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA). This binds, along with a co-regulator (Regulatory Component of ABA-Receptor=RCAR according to Grill et al. Science, 2009, 324, 1064 or PYR/PYL according to Cutler et al. Science, 2009, 324, 1068), to a phosphatase (e.g. ABI1, a type 2C protein phosphatase, also abbreviated to PP2C) and inhibits its activity. As a result, a downstream kinase (e.g. SnRK2) is no longer dephosphorylated. This kinase, which is thus active, via phosphorylation of transcription factors (e.g. AREB/ABF, cf. Yoshida et al., 2010, 61, 672), switches on a genetic protection program to increase drought stress tolerance.

[0423] The assay described hereinafter utilizes the inhibition of the phosphatase ABI1 via the co-regulator RCAR11/PYR1 aus Arabidopsis thaliana. For the determination of activity, the dephosphorylation of 4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate (MUP) was measured at 460 nm. The in vitro assay was conducted in Greiner 384-well PS microplates F-well, using two controls: a) 0.5% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and b) 5 M abscisic acid (ABA). The assay described here was generally conducted with substance concentrations of the appropriate chemical test substances in a concentration range of 0.1 M to 100 M in a solution of DMSO and water. The substance solution thus obtained, if necessary, was stirred with esterase from porcine liver (EC 3.1.1.1) at room temperature for 3 h and centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 30 min. A total volume of 45 l was introduced into each cavity of the microplate, having the following composition: [0424] 1) 5 l of substance solution, i.e. a) DMSO 5% orb) abscisic acid solution or c) the corresponding example compound of the general formula (I) dissolved in 5% DMSO. [0425] 2) 20 l of enzyme buffer mix, composed of a) 40% by vol. of enzyme buffer (10 ml contain equal proportions by volume of 500 mM Tris-HCl pH 8, 500 mM NaCl, 3.33 mM MnCl.sub.2, 40 mM dithiothreitol (DTT)), b) 4% by vol. of ABI1 dilution (protein stock solution was diluted so as to give, after addition, a final concentration in the assay of 0.15 g ABI1/well), c) 4% by vol. of RCAR11 dilution (enzyme stock was diluted so as to give, on addition of the dilution to the enzyme buffer mix, a final concentration in the assay of 0.30 g enzyme/well), d) 5% by vol. of Tween20 (1%), e) 47% by vol. H.sub.2O bi-dist. [0426] 3) 20 l of substrate mix, composed of a) 10% by vol. of 500 mM Tris-HCl pH8, b) 10% by vol. of 500 mM NaCl, c) 10% by vol. of 3.33 mM MnCl.sub.2, d) 5% by vol. of 25 mM MUP, 5% by vol. of Tween20 (1%), 60% by vol. of H.sub.2O bi-dist.

[0427] Enzyme buffer mix and substrate mix were made up 5 minutes prior to the addition and warmed to a temperature of 35 C. On completion of pipetting of all the solutions and on completion of mixing, the plate was incubated at 35 C. for 20 minutes. Finally, a relative fluorescence measurement was made at 35 C. with a BMG Labtech POLARstar Optima microplate reader using a 340/10 nm excitation filter and a 460 nm emission filter. The efficacy of the compounds of the general formula (I) is reported in the table which follows using abscisic acid (5 M) as comparative substance (abscisic acid, No. 10) according to the following classification: ++++ (inhibition90%), +++ (90%>inhibition70%), ++ (70%>inhibition50%), + (50%>inhibition30%).

[0428] Effects of selected compounds of the general formula (I) in the above-described in vitro assay at a concentration of 5 M of the substance of the general formula (I) in question in a solution of DMSO and water:

[0429] In Vivo Analyses

[0430] Seeds of monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous crop plants were sown in sandy loam in plastic pots, covered with soil or sand and cultivated in a greenhouse under good growth conditions. The test plants are treated at the early leaf stage (BBCH10-BBCH13). To assure uniform water supply before commencement of stress, the potted plants were supplied with water by dam irrigation prior to substance application.

[0431] The compounds according to the invention were first formulated as wettable powders (WP) or dissolved in a solvent mixture. The further dilution was effected with water supplemented with 0.2% wetting agent (e.g. agrotin). The finished spray liquor was sprayed onto the green parts of the plant at an equivalent water application rate of 600 l/ha. Substance application was followed immediately by stress treatment of the plants.

[0432] Drought stress was induced by gradual drying out under the following conditions:

[0433] Day: 14 hours with illumination at 26-30 C.

[0434] Night: 10 hours without illumination at 18-20 C.

[0435] The duration of the respective stress phases was guided mainly by the condition of the stressed control plants. It was ended (by re-irrigating and transfer to a greenhouse with good growth conditions) as soon as irreversible damage was observed on the stressed control plants.

[0436] The end of the stress phase was followed by an about 4-7-day recovery phase, during which the plants were once again kept under good growth conditions in a greenhouse. The duration of the recovery phase was guided mainly by when the trial plants had attained a state which enabled visual scoring of potential effects, and was therefore variable.

[0437] Once this juncture had been reached, the appearance of the plants treated with test substances was recorded in comparison to the stressed control plants by the following categories:

TABLE-US-00003 0 no positive effect + slight positive effect ++ clear positive effect +++ strong positive effect

[0438] In order to rule out any influence on the effects observed by any fungicidal or insecticidal action of the test compounds, it was additionally ensured that the tests proceeded without fungal infection or insect infestation.

[0439] The values reported in tables B-1 and B-2 below are mean values of the results from at least three repeats.

[0440] Effects of selected compounds of the general formula (I) under drought stress according to the following tables B-1 and B-2:

TABLE-US-00004 TABLE B-1 Effect No. Substance Dosage Unit (BRSNS) 1 A9-152 25 g/ha + 2 A9-165 250 g/ha + 3 A11-159 250 g/ha + 4 A11-158 250 g/ha +

TABLE-US-00005 TABLE B-2 Effect No. Substance Dosage Unit (TRZAS) 1 A9-152 250 g/ha + 2 A11-159 250 g/ha ++

[0441] In the above tables:

[0442] BRSNS=Brassica napus

[0443] TRZAS=Triticum aestivum

[0444] Similar results were also achievable with further compounds of the general formula (I), even on application to different plant species.
