Summary of Basic Genetic Modification
Gene Introduced | Gene Source | Product | Function |
cry1Fa2 | synthetic form of cry1F gene derived from Bacillus thuringiensis var. aizawai | modified Cry1F protein | confers resistance to lepidopteran insects by selectively damaging their midgut lining |
cry3Bb1 | Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kumamotoensis | Cry3Bb1 delta endotoxin | confers resistance to coleopteran insects particularly corn rootworm by selectively damaging their midgut lining |
pat | Streptomyces viridochromogenes | phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase (PAT) enzyme | eliminates herbicidal activity of glufosinate (phosphinothricin) herbicides by acetylation |
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 |
