Summary of Basic Genetic Modification
Gene Introduced | Gene Source | Product | Function |
acc (truncated) | Lycopersicon esculentum | modified transcript of 1-amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) synthase gene | suppresses the normal expression of the native ACC synthase gene, resulting in reduced ethylene production and delayed fruit ripening |
nptII * | Escherichia coli Tn5 transposon | neomycin phosphotransferase II enzyme | allows transformed plants to metabolize neomycin and kanamycin antibiotics during selection |
* : Selection Marker/Reporter
