Appeal No. 2003-0936
Application No. 09/532,806
20. A transgenic plant stably transformed with a selected
DNA comprising a maize GRP promoter comprising at
least 95 contiguous bases of SEQ ID NO:1.
33. The transgenic plant of claim 20, wherein said
selected DNA further comprises a selected heterologous
coding region operably linked to said GRP promoter.
34. The transgenic plant of claim 33, wherein said
selected heterologous coding region encodes a protein
imparting insect resistance, bacterial disease
resistance, fungal disease resistance, viral disease
resistance, nematode disease resistance, herbicide
resistance, enhanced grain composition or quality,
enhanced nutrient utilization, enhanced environment
or stress resistance, reduced mycotoxin contamination,
male sterility, a selectable marker phenotype, a
screenable marker phenotype, a negative selectable
marker phenotype, or altered plant agronomic
characteristics.
45. The transgenic plant of claim 20, further defined
as a monocotyledonous plant.
46. The transgenic plant of claim 45, wherein said
monocotyledonous plant is selected from the group
consisting of wheat, maize, rye, rice, oat, barley,
turfgrass, sorghum, millet and sugarcane.
48. The transgenic plant of claim 20, further defined
as a dicotyledonous plant.
49. The transgenic plant of claim 48, wherein said
dicotyledonous plant is selected from the group
consisting of tobacco, tomato, potato, soybean,
cotton, canola, alfalfa, sunflower, and cotton.2
2 We note here that the Markush grouping of
dicotyledonous plants twice recites cotton. Counsel should
edit all of appellants’ claims for typographical errors.
