Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
aad-1	synthetic form of the aad-1 gene from Sphingobium herbicidovorans	aryloxyalkanoate dioxygenase 1 (AAD-1) protein	detoxifies 2,4-D herbicide by side-chain degradation and degrades the R-enantiomers of aryloxyphenoxypropionate herbicides
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
