Summary of Basic Genetic Modification
Gene Introduced | Gene Source | Product | Function |
gbss (antisense fragment) | Solanum tuberosum | no functional granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS) enzyme is produced; production of GBSS enzyme is suppressed by a gene silencing mechanism | reduces the levels of amylose and increases the levels of amylopectin in starch granules |
nptII * | Escherichia coli Tn5 transposon | neomycin phosphotransferase II enzyme | allows transformed plants to metabolize neomycin and kanamycin antibiotics during selection |
* : Selection Marker/Reporter
