Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced Gene Source Product Function
zm-hra Zea mays herbicide tolerant acetolactase synthase (als) enzyme confers tolerance to acetolactate synthase-inhibiting herbicides such as sulfonylurea and imidazolinone
gat4621 Bacillus licheniformis glyphosate N-acetyltransferase enzyme catalyzes the inactivation of glyphosate, conferring tolerance to glyphosate herbicides
cry1Fa2 synthetic form of cry1F gene derived from Bacillus thuringiensis var. aizawai modified Cry1F protein confers resistance to lepidopteran insects by selectively damaging their midgut lining
pat Streptomyces viridochromogenes phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase (PAT) enzyme eliminates herbicidal activity of glufosinate (phosphinothricin) herbicides by acetylation
