          application, filed December 1, 1993, and Visser’s parent                    
          application, filed February 14, 1992, for proposed Count V-1                
          (Visser’s Preliminary Motion No. 7 (Paper No. 23)).                         
               September 9, 1996 - Hofvander moved under 37 CFR                       
          § 1.633(c)(1) to substitute proposed Count H-12 or, in                      
          the alternative, proposed Count H-23 for Count 1 of the                     

               2    Proposed Count H-1                                                
                         A homologous construct of the potato plant                   
                    comprising a full length potato granule-bound                     
                    starch synthase (PGBSS) cDNA or genomic DNA,                      
                                         or                                           
                         an antisense construct for inhibiting                        
                    expression of the gene for granule-bound starch                   
                    synthase in potato, comprising                                    
                         a)   a promoter, and                                         
                         b)   a fragment of the potato gene coding for                
                              granule-bound starch synthase inserted in               
                              the antisense direction, wherein said                   
                              fragment has the amino acid of SEQ ID No. 1.            
               3    Proposed Count H-2                                                
                         An antisense construct for suppressing                       
                    expression of the potato granule-bound starch                     
                    synthase gene (GBSS gene) comprising                              
                         (a) a promoter, and                                          
                         (b) a fragment of the potato GBSS gene inserted              
                              in the antisense direction, wherein said                
                              fragment is of sufficient length to result              
                              in the supression of amylose formation when             
                              introduced into the genome of a potato                  
                              tissue and said potato is cultivated.
