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 |
