Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
zm-hra	Zea mays	herbicide tolerant acetolactase synthase (als) enzyme	confers tolerance to acetolactate synthase-inhibiting herbicides such as sulfonylurea and imidazolinone
gat4621	Bacillus licheniformis	glyphosate N-acetyltransferase enzyme	catalyzes the inactivation of glyphosate, conferring tolerance to glyphosate herbicides
pat	Streptomyces viridochromogenes	phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase (PAT) enzyme	eliminates herbicidal activity of glufosinate (phosphinothricin) herbicides by acetylation
cry34Ab1	Bacillus thuringiensis strain PS149B1	Cry34Ab1 delta-endotoxin	confers resistance to coleopteran insects particularly corn rootworm by selectively damaging their midgut lining
cry35Ab1	Bacillus thuringiensis strain PS149B1	Cry35Ab1 delta-endotoxin	confers resistance to coleopteran insects particularly corn rootworm by selectively damaging their midgut lining
