Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
cry1Ac	Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. Kurstaki strain HD73	Cry1Ac delta-endotoxin	confers resistance to lepidopteran insects by selectively damaging their midgut lining
bar	Streptomyces hygroscopicus	phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase (PAT) enzyme	eliminates herbicidal activity of glufosinate (phosphinothricin) herbicides by acetylation
pinII	Solanum tuberosum	protease inhibitor protein	enhances defense against insect predators by reducing the digestibility and nutritional quality of the leaves
bla  *	Escherichia coli	beta lactamase enzyme	detoxifies beta lactam antibiotics such as ampicillin
