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
