Summary of Basic Genetic Modification
Gene Introduced | Gene Source | Product | Function |
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 |
goxv247 | Ochrobactrum anthropi strain LBAA | glyphosate oxidase | confers tolerance to glyphosate herbicides by degrading glyphosate into aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) and glyoxylate |
uidA * | Escherichia coli | beta-D-glucuronidase (GUS) enzyme | produces blue stain on treated transformed tissue, which allows visual selection |
* : Selection Marker/Reporter
