Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
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
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
pat	Streptomyces viridochromogenes	phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase (PAT) enzyme	eliminates herbicidal activity of glufosinate (phosphinothricin) herbicides by acetylation
cry2Ab2	Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kumamotoensis	Cry2Ab delta-endotoxin	confers resistance to lepidopteran insects by selectively damaging their midgut lining
cry1A.105	Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kumamotoensis	Cry1A.105 protein which comprises the Cry1Ab, Cry1F and Cry1Ac proteins	confers resistance to lepidopteran insects by selectively damaging their midgut lining
