Commercial Trait:
(Singular)  Insect Resistance

Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
cry1Ab	Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki	Cry1Ab delta-endotoxin	confers resistance to lepidopteran insects by selectively damaging their midgut lining
goxv247  *	Ochrobactrum anthropi strain LBAA	glyphosate oxidase	confers tolerance to glyphosate herbicides by degrading glyphosate into aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) and glyoxylate
cp4 epsps (aroA:CP4)  *	Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain CP4	herbicide tolerant form of 5-enolpyruvulshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) enzyme	decreases binding affinity for glyphosate, thereby conferring increased tolerance to glyphosate herbicide
nptII  *	Escherichia coli Tn5 transposon	neomycin phosphotransferase II enzyme	allows transformed plants to metabolize neomycin and kanamycin antibiotics during selection
