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 |
