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 |
