Disclosed are new effects of increased gdhA gene expression on plants that are susceptible to
Aspergillus
and
Fusarium virguliforme
infection. Plants transformed with the gdhA gene are resistant to aflatoxin accumulation following
Aspergillus
infection, and to root rot following
F. virguliforme
infection. The resistance to aflatoxin accumulation and root rot in gdhA
+
plants is coincident with drought tolerance and resistance of the plants to certain herbicides. Methods for controlling aflatoxin contamination and root rot in crop plants, and for screening plants putatively transformed with gdhA, are described.

The present invention relates to a pheromone dispenser, filled with pheromone or a pheromone-comprising liquid and comprising (a) a deep-drawn plastic film made of a thermoplastic film material and featuring at least one dish-shaped zone for receiving a pheromone, and a planar plastic film made of a thermoplastic film material and which is connected with the deep-drawn plastic film, the planar plastic film together with the at least one dish-shaped zone of the deep-drawn plastic film forming a durably sealed chamber which comprises the pheromone or the pheromone-comprising liquid, and (c) a recess in the zone of the interconnected plastic films, the planar plastic film being permeable to the pheromone.
The invention also relates to a process for producing such a pheromone dispenser.
