Commercial Trait:
(Stacked)  Herbicide Tolerance

Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
dmo	Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strain DI-6	dicamba mono-oxygenase enzyme	confers tolerance to the herbicide dicamba (2-methoxy-3,6-dichlorobenzoic acid) by using dicamba as substrate in an enzymatic reaction
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
