US 5792926
This patent is a division of U.S. patent application No 08/279706, Patent No 5633434. The emphasis here is on a transformed, transgenic plant cell expressing both a phosphinothricin (PPT) resistance gene and a viral coat protein (Claim 1). Utilizing the herbicide resistance to improve growth is the subject of Claim 2. Claim 2 recites the transformation, selection and regeneration of a plant from a plant cell containing the genes for herbicide and virus resistance as in Claim 1. The treatment of such regenerated plants with phosphinothricin is also claimed. The phosphinothricin resistance gene must be from a Streptomyces species (Claim 6). However in the specifications the resistance gene from Streptomyces viridochromogenes is preferred. This patent also claims the isolated DNA sequence used to transform the plant cells (Claim 3).
