Sulfonylurea herbicide tolerance , Delayed ripening/senescence

Commercial Trait:
(Singular)  Modified Product Quality

Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
surB  *	Nicotiana tabacum	herbicide tolerant acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme	confers tolerance to sulfonylurea herbicides and other acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibiting herbicides
acc (truncated)	Dianthus caryophyllus	modified transcript of 1-amino-cyclopropane -1-carboxylic acid (ACC) synthase gene	causes reduced synthesis of endogenous ethylene through a gene silencing mechanism and thus delayed senescence and longer vase life
