Summary of Basic Genetic Modification
Gene Introduced | Gene Source | Product | Function |
pg (sense or antisense) | Lycopersicon esculentum | no functional polygalacturonase enzyme is produced (transcription of the endogenous enzyme is suppressed by a gene silencing mechanism) | inhibits the production of polygalacturonase enzyme responsible for the breakdown of pectin molecules in the cell wall, and thus causes delayed softening of the fruit |
nptII * | Escherichia coli Tn5 transposon | neomycin phosphotransferase II enzyme | allows transformed plants to metabolize neomycin and kanamycin antibiotics during selection |
* : Selection Marker/Reporter
