Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
pat (syn)	synthetic form of pat gene derived from Streptomyces viridochromogenes strain Tu 494	phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase (PAT) enzyme	eliminates herbicidal activity of glufosinate (phosphinothricin) herbicides by acetylation
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
bla  *	Escherichia coli	beta lactamase enzyme	detoxifies beta lactam antibiotics such as ampicillin
