Summary of Basic Genetic Modification
Gene Introduced | Gene Source | Product | Function |
prsv_cp | Papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) | coat protein (CP) of the papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) | confers resistance to papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) through "pathogen-derived resistance" mechanism |
nptII * | Escherichia coli Tn5 transposon | neomycin phosphotransferase II enzyme | allows transformed plants to metabolize neomycin and kanamycin antibiotics during selection |
uidA * | Escherichia coli | beta-D-glucuronidase (GUS) enzyme | produces blue stain on treated transformed tissue, which allows visual selection |
* : Selection Marker/Reporter
