Method of Trait Introduction:
Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated plant transformation

GM Trait s :
Glufosinate herbicide tolerance , Glyphosate herbicide tolerance

Commercial Trait:
(Stacked)  Herbicide Tolerance

Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
2mepsps	Zea mays	5-enolpyruvyl shikimate-3-phosphate synthase enzyme (double mutant version)	decreases binding affinity for glyphosate, thereby increasing tolerance to glyphosate herbicide
pat	Streptomyces viridochromogenes	phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase (PAT) enzyme	eliminates herbicidal activity of glufosinate (phosphinothricin) herbicides by acetylation
