Developer:
University of Florida

Method of Trait Introduction:
Conventional breeding - cross hybridization and selection involving transgenic donor(s)

GM Trait :
Glyphosate herbicide tolerance

Commercial Trait:
(Singular)  Herbicide Tolerance

Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
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

 

Summary of Regulatory Approvals: Country, Year and Type of Approval

Country	Food direct use or processing	Feed direct use or processing	Cultivation domestic or non-domestic use
