Commercial Trait:
(Stacked)  Herbicide Tolerance + Insect Resistance

Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
cry1Fa2	synthetic form of cry1F gene derived from Bacillus thuringiensis var. aizawai	modified Cry1F protein	confers resistance to lepidopteran insects by selectively damaging their midgut lining
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
pat	Streptomyces viridochromogenes	phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase (PAT) enzyme	eliminates herbicidal activity of glufosinate (phosphinothricin) herbicides by acetylation
