Summary of Basic Genetic Modification
| Gene Introduced | Gene Source | Product | Function |
| amy797E | synthetic gene derived from Thermococcales spp. | thermostable alpha-amylase enzyme | enhances bioethanol production by increasing the thermostability of amylase used in degrading starch |
| 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 |
* : Selection Marker/Reporter
