Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
amy797E	synthetic gene derived from Thermococcales spp.	thermostable alpha-amylase enzyme	enhances bioethanol production by increasing the thermostability of amylase used in degrading starch
pmi  *	Escherichia coli	Phosphomannose Isomerase (PMI) enzyme	metabolizes mannose and allows positive selection for recovery of transformed plants
mcry3A	synthetic form of cry3A gene from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. tenebrionis	modified Cry3A delta-endotoxin	confers resistance to coleopteran insects particularly corn rootworm pests by selectively damaging their midgut lining
mepsps	Zea mays	modified 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) enzyme	confers tolerance to glyphosate herbicides
