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
