Summary of Basic Genetic Modification
Gene Introduced | Gene Source | Product | Function |
vip3Aa20 | Bacillus thuringiensis strain AB88 | vegetative insecticidal protein (vip3Aa variant) | confers resistance to feeding damage caused by lepidopteran insects by selectively damaging their midgut |
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 |
pat | Streptomyces viridochromogenes | phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase (PAT) enzyme | eliminates herbicidal activity of glufosinate (phosphinothricin) herbicides by acetylation |
pmi * | Escherichia coli | Phosphomannose Isomerase (PMI) enzyme | metabolizes mannose and allows positive selection for recovery of transformed plants |
* : Selection Marker/Reporter
