Commercial Trait:
(Singular)  Herbicide Tolerance

Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
goxv247	Ochrobactrum anthropi strain LBAA	glyphosate oxidase	confers tolerance to glyphosate herbicides by degrading glyphosate into aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) and glyoxylate
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
nptII  *	Escherichia coli Tn5 transposon	neomycin phosphotransferase II enzyme	allows transformed plants to metabolize neomycin and kanamycin antibiotics during selection

 * : Selection Marker/Reporter  

Summary of Regulatory Approvals: Country, Year and Type of Approval
