Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
barnase	Bacillus amyloliquefaciens	barnase ribonuclease (RNAse) enzyme	causes male sterility by interfering with RNA production in the tapetum cells of the anther
bar	Streptomyces hygroscopicus	phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase (PAT) enzyme	eliminates herbicidal activity of glufosinate (phosphinothricin) herbicides by acetylation
barstar	Bacillus amyloliquefaciens	barnase ribonuclease inhibitor	restores fertility by repressing the inhibitory effect of barnase on tapetum cells of the anther
