Summary of Basic Genetic Modification
Gene Introduced | Gene Source | Product | Function |
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 |
ccomt (inverted repeat) | Medicago sativa (alfalfa) | dsRNA that suppresses endogenous S-adenosyl-L-methionine: trans-caffeoyl CoA 3-O-methyltransferase (CCOMT gene) RNA transcript levels via the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway | reduces content of guaiacyl (G) lignin |
nptII * | Escherichia coli Tn5 transposon | neomycin phosphotransferase II enzyme | allows transformed plants to metabolize neomycin and kanamycin antibiotics during selection |
* : Selection Marker/Reporter
