Basic Genetic Modification
| Gene Introduced | Gene Source | Product | Function |
| gm-fad2-1 (silencing locus) | Glycine max | no functional enzyme is produced (production of endogenous delta-12 desaturase enzyme was suppressed by an additional copy of the gm-fad2-1 gene via a gene silencing mechanism) | blocks the conversion of oleic acid to linoleic acid (by silencing the endogenous fad2-1 gene) and allows accumulation of monounsaturated oleic acid in the seed |
| bla * | Escherichia coli | beta lactamase enzyme | detoxifies beta lactam antibiotics such as ampicillin |
| uidA * | Escherichia coli | beta-D-glucuronidase (GUS) enzyme | produces blue stain on treated transformed tissue, which allows visual selection |

Detection Methods
The GM Approval Database, or GMAD, is one of ISAAA’s unique features that compiles all the available information about biotech/GM crops that have been approved for planting and importation for food and feed, and commercialization. ISAAA sources out the information from publicly available decision documents per country, Biosafety Clearing Houses and peer-reviewed scholarly articles to maintain the credibility of the database. Your contribution can help expand and maintain the GMAD and make useful information more available to researchers, students, and the general public. You can help by donating as little as $10.
