                 GRIMES, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                  


                                             DECISION ON APPEAL                                                        
                        This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 involving claims to a method                           
                 for sorting plant embryos.  The Examiner has rejected the claims as                                   
                 nonenabled and lacking adequate written description.  We have jurisdiction                            
                 under 35 U.S.C. § 6(b).  We reverse the rejection for inadequate written                              
                 description but affirm the rejection for nonenablement.
