Summary of Basic Genetic Modification
Gene Introduced | Gene Source | Product | Function |
cry3Bb1 | Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kumamotoensis | Cry3Bb1 delta endotoxin | confers resistance to coleopteran insects particularly corn rootworm by selectively damaging their midgut lining |
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 |
dvsnf7 | Western Corn Rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera) | double-stranded RNA transcript containing a 240 bp fragment of the WCR Snf7 gene | RNAi interference resulting to down-regulation of the function of the targeted Snf7 gene leading to Western Corn Rootworm mortality. |
