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
