Summary of Basic Genetic Modification
Gene Introduced | Gene Source | Product | Function |
PGAS PPO suppression gene | Malus domestica | double stranded RNA (dsRNA) | double stranded RNA (dsRNA)from the suppression transcript is processed into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that direct the cleavage of the target mRNA through sequence complementarity and suppresses PPO resulting in apples with a non-browning phenotype. |
nptII * | Escherichia coli Tn5 transposon | neomycin phosphotransferase II enzyme | allows transformed plants to metabolize neomycin and kanamycin antibiotics during selection |
* : Selection Marker/Reporter
