Commercial Trait:
(Stacked)  Herbicide Tolerance + Insect Resistance

Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
cp4 epsps (aroA:CP4)	Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain CP4	herbicide tolerant form of 5-enolpyruvulshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) enzyme	decreases binding affinity for glyphosate, thereby conferring increased tolerance to glyphosate herbicide
cry34Ab1	Bacillus thuringiensis strain PS149B1	Cry34Ab1 delta-endotoxin	confers resistance to coleopteran insects particularly corn rootworm by selectively damaging their midgut lining
cry35Ab1	Bacillus thuringiensis strain PS149B1	Cry35Ab1 delta-endotoxin	confers resistance to coleopteran insects particularly corn rootworm by selectively damaging their midgut lining
pat	Streptomyces viridochromogenes	phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase (PAT) enzyme	eliminates herbicidal activity of glufosinate (phosphinothricin) herbicides by acetylation
