Summary of Basic Genetic Modification
Gene Introduced | Gene Source | Product | Function |
cry1Ac | Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. Kurstaki strain HD73 | Cry1Ac delta-endotoxin | confers resistance to lepidopteran insects by selectively damaging their midgut lining |
API | Sagittaria sagittifolia (arrowhead) | arrowhead protease inhibitor protein A or B | confers resistance to a wide range of insect pests |
nptII * | Escherichia coli Tn5 transposon | neomycin phosphotransferase II enzyme | allows transformed plants to metabolize neomycin and kanamycin antibiotics during selection |
* : Selection Marker/Reporter
