Abstract
Abstract Clones are disclosed comprising at least part of a DNA sequence of a gene encoding maize acetyl CoA carboxylase, or a sequence showing substantial homology therewith, flanked by heterologous DNA. DNA from such clones may be used to isolate similar sequences in other plants. Such sequences may be used to transform plants to give a variety of useful effects, including resistance to herbicides such as fluazifop, and modified oil-bearing properties.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
54 words
An isolated DNA sequence selected from the group consisting of that depicted in any one of FIGS. 3 (SEQ ID NO:1), 4(a) (SEQ ID NO:3); 4(b) (SEQ ID NO:5), 5(a) (SEQ ID NO:7), 5(b) (SEQ ID NO:9), and 5(c) (SEQ ID NO:11), wherein said sequence encodes a plant acetyl CoA carboxylase or portion thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
54 words
An isolated DNA sequence selected from the group consisting of that depicted in any one of FIGS. 3 (SEQ ID NO:1), 4(a) (SEQ ID NO:3); 4(b) (SEQ ID NO:5), 5(a) (SEQ ID NO:7), 5(b) (SEQ ID NO:9), and 5(c) (SEQ ID NO:11), wherein said sequence encodes a plant acetyl CoA carboxylase or portion thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
11 words
The DNA sequence according to claim 1, flanked by heterologous DNA.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
The DNA sequence according to claim 2, wherein the heterologous DNA comprises a plant operable promoter.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
A clone selected from the group consisting of clones A3 and A4 which are deposited at the Australian Government Analytical Laboratory under the designations maize A3 ACC cDNA plasmid (Accession No. N91/074874) and maize A4 ACC cDNA plasmid (Accession No. N91/074875), respectively.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
42 words
A clone selected from the group consisting of clones A3 and A4 which are deposited at the Australian Government Analytical Laboratory under the designations maize A3 ACC cDNA plasmid (Accession No. N91/074874) and maize A4 ACC cDNA plasmid (Accession No. N91/074875), respectively.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
29 words
A clone encoding a plant acetyl CoA carboxylase, said clone having been obtained by probing plant genomic or cDNA libraries, using as probe a DNA sequence of claim 1.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
19 words
A plant which has been transformed with the DNA sequence of claim 3, or the clone of claim 5.
