          PGBSS gene.  We find that the arrow on top of Kuipers’ Fig. 1A,             
          excluding the dashed line promoter and dashed line terminator               
          regions, corresponds to the 3.0 kb (3000 b) BamHI-SpeI                      
          sequence identified as SUB10 in Kuipers’ Fig. 1A including                  
          the substantially complete or full length 5'-3' genomic DNA                 
          coding region of the GBSS gene (emphasis added):                            
               For construction pGBA10 and pKGBA10 the 4.2 kb HindIII                 
               fragment containing the complete coding region of the                  
               GBSS gene (Visser et al. 1989) was subcloned in pUC19                  
               (=SUB10; Fig. 1A).  The 3.0 kb BamHI-SpeI fragment of                  
               SUB10 was ligated in reversed orientation into digested                
               pBI121S or pPGB-1S, respectively.                                      
          (VDX 4, p. 746, col. 2/HR 337, col. 2);                                     
               The full length GBSS cDNA (pGB50, pKGBA50) and genomic                 
               DNA (pGBA10, pKGBA10) constructs were all found to be                  
               capable of complete inhibition of GBSS gene expression                 
               in a higher percentage of transgenic potato clones                     
               (Table 1).                                                             
          (VDX 4, p. 752, col. 1/HR 343, col. 1); and                                 
               For the construction of pGBA10 and pKGBA10 the 3.0 kb                  
               HindIII-SpeI fragment containing the complete coding                   
               region of the GBSS gene . . . was subcloned in pUC19.                  
          (Appendix B, p. 3, l. 6-7).                                                 
               Kuipers’ 3.0 kb BamHI-SpeI fragment of SUB10 includes the              
          HindIII-SpeI fragment (VDX 4, p. 748, Fig. 1A, SUB10/HR 339,
