Summary of Basic Genetic Modification
Gene Introduced | Gene Source | Product | Function |
cry3A | Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. tenebrionis | cry3A delta endotoxin | confers resistance to coleopteran insects by selectively damaging their midgut lining |
cp4 epsps (aroA:CP4) | Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain CP4 | herbicide tolerant form of 5-enolpyruvulshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) enzyme | decreases binding affinity for glyphosate, thereby conferring increased tolerance to glyphosate herbicide |
plrv_orf1 | Potato Leaf Roll Virus (PLRV) | putative replicase domain of the potato leaf roll virus (PLRV) | confers resistance to potato leaf roll virus (PLRV) through gene silencing mechanism |
plrv_orf2 | Potato Leaf Roll Virus (PLRV) | putative helicase domain of the potato leaf roll virus (PLRV) | confers resistance to potato leaf roll virus (PLRV) through gene silencing mechanism |
