of Lubrizol's interest in Agrigenetics, L.P., a limited partnership (the
formation and ownership of which were described in Lubrizol's Amendment No. 1,

interest in options to acquire 50,000 shares of Common Stock, which were

to George R. Hill, Lubrizol's Senior Vice President, and Kenneth H. Hopping,
Lubrizol's Vice President and Secretary, for their service on behalf of Lubrizol
as directors of Mycogen.  Of such options, options to acquire 14,999 shares of
Common Stock were presently exercisable and were exercised on February 20,

directors of Messrs. Hill and Hopping effective February 20, 1996.

  The Common Stock beneficially owned by Lubrizol, including shares held by its

partnership ("DowElanco"), entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement attached
as Exhibit 99(a)(1) to Amendment Number 3 to this Schedule 13D ("Stock Purchase 
Agreement") pursuant to which (i) Lubrizol and AGC agreed to sell to DowElanco
9,502,348 shares of Common Stock and (ii) DowElanco agreed to buy, and Lubrizol

contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement in accordance with the terms 
specified therein.  As a result, Lubrizol and AGC have disposed of all shares of
Common Stock benefically owned by them.
