Basic Genetic Modification
| Gene Introduced | Gene Source | Product | Function |
| mCry51Aa2 | Bacillus thuringiensis | modified Bt Cry51Aa2 protein | confers resistance to hemipteran insects Lygus hesperus and L. lineolaris by selectively damaging their midgut lining |
| vip3A(a) | Bacillus thuringiensis strain AB88 | VIP3A vegetative insecticidal protein | confers resistance to feeding damage caused by lepidopteran insects by selectively damaging their midgut lining |
| aph4 (hpt) * | Escherichia coli | hygromycin-B phosphotransferase (hph) enzyme | allows selection for resistance to the antibiotic hygromycin B |
| cry1Ac | Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. Kurstaki strain HD73 | Cry1Ac delta-endotoxin | confers resistance to lepidopteran insects by selectively damaging their midgut lining |
| cry2Ab2 | Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kumamotoensis | Cry2Ab delta-endotoxin | confers resistance to lepidopteran insects by selectively damaging their midgut lining |
| dmo | Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strain DI-6 | dicamba mono-oxygenase enzyme | confers tolerance to the herbicide dicamba (2-methoxy-3,6-dichlorobenzoic acid) by using dicamba as substrate in an enzymatic reaction |
| nptII * | Escherichia coli Tn5 transposon | neomycin phosphotransferase II enzyme | allows transformed plants to metabolize neomycin and kanamycin antibiotics during selection |
| bar | Streptomyces hygroscopicus | phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase (PAT) enzyme | eliminates herbicidal activity of glufosinate (phosphinothricin) herbicides by acetylation |

Event Description
The GM Approval Database, or GMAD, is one of ISAAA’s unique features that compiles all the available information about biotech/GM crops that have been approved for planting and importation for food and feed, and commercialization. ISAAA sources out the information from publicly available decision documents per country, Biosafety Clearing Houses and peer-reviewed scholarly articles to maintain the credibility of the database. Your contribution can help expand and maintain the GMAD and make useful information more available to researchers, students, and the general public. You can help by donating as little as $10.
