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 |
| vip3A(a) | Bacillus thuringiensis strain AB88 | VIP3A vegetative insecticidal protein | confers resistance to feeding damage caused by lepidopteran insects by selectively damaging their midgut lining |
| mepsps | Zea mays | modified 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) enzyme | confers tolerance to glyphosate herbicides |
| ecry3.1Ab | synthetic form of Cry3A gene and Cry1Ab gene from Bacillus thuringiensis | chimeric (Cry3A-Cry1Ab) delta endotoxin protein | confers resistance to coleopteran and lepidopteran insects by selectively damaging their midgut lining |
