Q. Is this the first time that you had done a search
for ATTTA sequences in the native Bt gene, as best you
recall?
A. Referring to September 20th, 1986?
Q. Or thereabouts.
A. Yes.
A comparison of Dr. Adang’s testimony regarding his laboratory
notebook entries dated April of 1988, indicates that Dr. Adang
had required and did acquire much more confidence and certainty
than he had in 1986 that elimination of ATTTA sequences from Bt
genes would solve inefficient expression problems associated with
expressing the Bt genes in plants (AR 0375-0378)(emphasis added):
Q. And can you just thumb through the pages quickly
and confirm for me that for the most part the entries in
this notebook appear to have been made in 1988?
. . . . .
A. But I think for the most part it looks like it’s
for that period of 1988.
Q. . . . Were the entries in this laboratory notebook
made by employees of Agrigenetics, Inc., in the course of
their employment at the company?
A. Yes.
Q. Would you refer, please, to laboratory notebook
page 11, which bears production number MC207642?
A. Yes, I see it.
