Summary of Basic Genetic Modification
| Gene Introduced | Gene Source | Product | Function |
| 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 |
| cry3Bb1 | Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kumamotoensis | Cry3Bb1 delta endotoxin | confers resistance to coleopteran insects particularly corn rootworm by selectively damaging their midgut lining |
