Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
bar  *	Streptomyces hygroscopicus	phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase (PAT) enzyme	eliminates herbicidal activity of glufosinate (phosphinothricin) herbicides by acetylation
barnase	Bacillus amyloliquefaciens	barnase ribonuclease (RNAse) enzyme	causes male sterility by interfering with RNA production in the tapetum cells of the anther
bla  *	Escherichia coli	beta lactamase enzyme	detoxifies beta lactam antibiotics such as ampicillin
