DEFINITION

Classification: 800/301

Pathogen resistant plant which is transgenic or mutant:

(under subclass 298) Subject matter wherein the higher plant, seedling, plant seed, or plant part is pathogen resistant and has been made via a transgenic method or a mutation step.

(1) Note. Transgenic means that new genetic information has become embedded into the germ line of the plant. A mutant plant is one wherein a change in the structure of the genetic material (i.e., the DNA base sequence) of the plant has occurred. Mutations result in heritable alterations in the genotype of the plant.

(2) Note. Pathogens include disease-causing organisms such as viruses, bacteria, nematodes, etc.
