Glyphosate herbicide tolerance , Coleopteran insect resistance , Lepidopteran insect resistance

Commercial Trait:
(Stacked)  Herbicide Tolerance + Insect Resistance

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
cry1A.105	Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kumamotoensis	Cry1A.105 protein which comprises the Cry1Ab, Cry1F and Cry1Ac proteins	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
cry3Bb1	Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kumamotoensis	Cry3Bb1 delta endotoxin	confers resistance to coleopteran insects particularly corn rootworm by selectively damaging their midgut lining
