Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
bar	Streptomyces hygroscopicus	phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase (PAT) enzyme	eliminates herbicidal activity of glufosinate (phosphinothricin) herbicides by acetylation
barstar	Bacillus amyloliquefaciens	barnase ribonuclease inhibitor	restores fertility by repressing the inhibitory effect of barnase on tapetum cells of the anther
nptII  *	Escherichia coli Tn5 transposon	neomycin phosphotransferase II enzyme	allows transformed plants to metabolize neomycin and kanamycin antibiotics during selection

 * : Selection Marker/Reporter
