• (f) a nucleotide sequence comprising at least 15 consecutive nucleotides outside of a conserved domain of any of (a)-(e);
• (g) a nucleotide sequence comprising a subsequence or fragment of any of (a)-(f), which subsequence or fragment encodes a polypeptide that modifies one or more of a plant's traits;
