Basic Genetic Modification
| Gene Introduced | Gene Source | Product | Function |
| vip3Aa20 | Bacillus thuringiensis strain AB88 | vegetative insecticidal protein (vip3Aa variant) | confers resistance to feeding damage caused by lepidopteran insects by selectively damaging their midgut |
| 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 |
| ecry3.1Ab | synthetic form of Cry3A gene and Cry1Ab gene from Bacillus thuringiensis | chimeric (Cry3A-Cry1Ab) delta endotoxin protein | confers resistance to coleopteran insects by selectively damaging their midgut lining |

Regulatory and Biosafety Information
The GM Approval Database, or GMAD, is one of ISAAA’s unique features that compiles all the available information about biotech/GM crops that have been approved for planting and importation for food and feed, and commercialization. ISAAA sources out the information from publicly available decision documents per country, Biosafety Clearing Houses and peer-reviewed scholarly articles to maintain the credibility of the database. Your contribution can help expand and maintain the GMAD and make useful information more available to researchers, students, and the general public. You can help by donating as little as $10.
