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
barstar	Bacillus amyloliquefaciens	barnase ribonuclease inhibitor	restores fertility by repressing the inhibitory effect of barnase on tapetum cells of the anther
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
goxv247	Ochrobactrum anthropi strain LBAA	glyphosate oxidase	confers tolerance to glyphosate herbicides by degrading glyphosate into aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) and glyoxylate
