Developer:
DuPont (Pioneer Hi-Bred International Inc.)

Method of Trait Introduction:
Microparticle bombardment of plant cells or tissue

GM Trait s :
Sulfonylurea herbicide tolerance , Modified oil/fatty acid

Commercial Trait:
(Singular)  Modified Product Quality

Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
gm-hra  *	Glycine max	modified acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme	confers tolerance to applications of sulfonylurea – based herbicides
gm-fad2-1 (partial sequence)	Glycine max	no functional enzyme is produced (expression of the endogenous fad2-1 gene encoding omega-6 desaturase enzyme was suppressed by the partial gm-fad2-1 gene fragment)	blocks the formation of linoleic acid from oleic acid (by silencing the fad2-1 gene) and allows accumulation of oleic acid in the seed
