Hello all, 
There is on-line access to the US Patent database, including Plant Patents. 
The 
searching is tricky, and I cannot say I have gotten the site to give me what 
I am 
looking for completely, but under Quick search, enter Apple and choose Title 
for 
the first query, Malus and choose description for the second query, and I 
think you 
are looking at all the plant patents for apples and apple rootstock in the 
database. Maybe I am wrong, which is why I think that others should play 
around and 
give feedback of their best search techniques for this site:

best of luck,
