Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
cry1Ab	Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki	Cry1Ab delta-endotoxin	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
mcry3A	synthetic form of cry3A gene from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. tenebrionis	modified Cry3A delta-endotoxin	confers resistance to coleopteran insects particularly corn rootworm pests by selectively damaging their midgut lining
pmi  *	Escherichia coli	Phosphomannose Isomerase (PMI) enzyme	metabolizes mannose and allows positive selection for recovery of transformed plants
vip3Aa20	Bacillus thuringiensis strain AB88	vegetative insecticidal protein (vip3Aa variant)	confers resistance to feeding damage caused by lepidopteran insects by selectively damaging their midgut
