Summary of Basic Genetic Modification
Gene Introduced | Gene Source | Product | Function |
cry1Ab | Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki | Cry1Ab delta-endotoxin | confers resistance to lepidopteran insects by selectively damaging their midgut lining |
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 |
mepsps | Zea mays | modified 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) enzyme | confers tolerance to glyphosate herbicides |
