So, for plant patents, the USPTO typically requires you to have a plant killed to submit the information on dead plant substrate?https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USPTO/bulletins/28a2a5d …

For simple things I think a prototype may not be much better than the “constructive reduction to practice” on paper. I think for computer implemented inventions ad other more complex and potentially “abstract” things prototypes or code would be helpful to clarify the invention.
they like a “Sequence Listing” document Very cool. We filed a patent app recently and the office action is not as good as I hope, I'll be tempted to send in the invention. It speaks much louder in person than on paper.

Office actions can look worse than they are at first (especially when you are inventor—in my experience). Often, it is productive to do an interview with the examiner — IMO they like talking with inventors. May be opportunity to demo also.

Great advice thanks. I filed this one with an attorney. I'm not at your level (nowhere near it), but I am proud to say that I once had a claim allowed on a non-provisional application. I ultimately abandoned it because the product wasn't doing well, but proud of that!
