Basic Genetic Modification
| Gene Introduced | Gene Source | Product | Function |
| PpD6E | Physcomitrella patens | delta-6 elongase | catalyzes the decarboxylation Claisen-like condensation of two carbons from malonyl-CoA to C18:3n-6-CoA generating C20:3n-6-ß-keto-CoA, which is then converted to C20:3n-6-CoA by endogenous enzymes |
| TcD5D | Thraustochytrium sp. | two copies of the coding sequence for a delta-5 desaturase, cD5D(Tc)1 and cD5D(Tc)2 | |
| OtD6D | Ostreococcus tauri | delta-6 desaturase | converts C18:2n-6 fatty acids into C18:3n-6 fatty acids |
| TpD6E | Thalassiosira pseudonana | delta-6 elongase | catalyzes the decarboxylation Claisen-like condensation of two carbons from malonyl-CoA to C18:3n-6-CoA generating C20:3n-6-ß-keto-CoA, which is then converted to C20:3n-6-CoA by endogenous enzymes |
| PsD12D | Phytophthora sojae | delta-12 desaturase | convert C18:1n-9 into C18:2n-6 |
| PirO3D | Pythium irregulare | two copies of the coding sequence for an omega-3 desaturase, cO3D(Pir)1 and cO3D(Pir)2 | converts C20:4n-6 into C20:5n-3 |
| PiO3D | Phytophthora infestans | omega-3 desaturase | converts C20:4n-6 into C20:5n-3 |
| TcD4D | Thraustochytrium sp. | delta-4 desaturase | converts C22:5n-3 into C22:6n-3 |
| PlD4D | Pavlova lutheri | delta-4 desaturase | convert C22:5n-3 into C22:6n-3 |
| OtD5E | Ostreococcus tauri | delta-5 elongase | catalyzes the decarboxylation Claisen-like condensation of two carbons from malonyl-CoA to C20:5n-3-CoA generating C22:5n-3-ß-keto-C oA, which is then converted to C22:5n-3-CoA by endogenous enzymes |
| AtAHAS | Arabidopsis thaliana | acetohydroxy acid synthase large subunit | tolerance to the herbicide imazamox |

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.
