Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
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
bar	Streptomyces hygroscopicus	phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase (PAT) enzyme	eliminates herbicidal activity of glufosinate (phosphinothricin) herbicides by acetylation
2mepsps	Zea mays	5-enolpyruvyl shikimate-3-phosphate synthase enzyme (double mutant version)	decreases binding affinity for glyphosate, thereby increasing tolerance to glyphosate herbicide
nptII  *	Escherichia coli Tn5 transposon	neomycin phosphotransferase II enzyme	allows transformed plants to metabolize neomycin and kanamycin antibiotics during selection
aad  *	Escherichia coli	3''(9)-O-aminoglycoside adenylyltransferase enzyme	allows selection for resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics such as spectinomycin and streptomycin
uidA  *	Escherichia coli	beta-D-glucuronidase (GUS) enzyme	produces blue stain on treated transformed tissue, which allows visual selection

 * : Selection Marker/Reporter
