(Stacked)  Herbicide Tolerance

Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
aad-12	Delftia acidovorans	aryloxyalkanoate di-oxygenase 12 (AAD-12) protein	catalyzes the side chain degradation of 2,4-D herbicide
2mepsps	Zea mays	5-enolpyruvyl shikimate-3-phosphate synthase enzyme (double mutant version)	decreases binding affinity for glyphosate, thereby increasing tolerance to glyphosate herbicide
pat	Streptomyces viridochromogenes	phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase (PAT) enzyme	eliminates herbicidal activity of glufosinate (phosphinothricin) herbicides by acetylation
