Summary of Basic Genetic Modification
Gene Introduced | Gene Source | Product | Function |
gm-fad2-1 (silencing locus) | Glycine max | no functional enzyme is produced (production of endogenous delta-12 desaturase enzyme was suppressed by an additional copy of the gm-fad2-1 gene via a gene silencing mechanism) | blocks the conversion of oleic acid to linoleic acid (by silencing the endogenous fad2-1 gene) and allows accumulation of monounsaturated oleic acid in the seed |
bla * | Escherichia coli | beta lactamase enzyme | detoxifies beta lactam antibiotics such as ampicillin |
uidA * | Escherichia coli | beta-D-glucuronidase (GUS) enzyme | produces blue stain on treated transformed tissue, which allows visual selection |
* : Selection Marker/Reporter
