Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
Pj.D6D	Primula juliae	delta 6 desaturase protein	desaturates certain endogenous fatty acids resulting in the production of stearidonic acid (SDA), an omega-3 fatty acid
Nc.Fad3	Neurospora crassa	delta 15 desaturase protein	desaturates certain endogenous fatty acids resulting in the production of stearidonic acid (SDA), an omega-3 fatty acid
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
