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 |
| hppdPF W336 | Pseudomonas fluorescens strain A32 | modified p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (hppd) enzyme | confers tolerance to HPPD-inhibiting herbicides (such as isoxaflutole) by reducing the specificity for the herbicide's bioactive constituent |
| pat | Streptomyces viridochromogenes | phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase (PAT) enzyme | eliminates herbicidal activity of glufosinate (phosphinothricin) herbicides by acetylation |

Detection Methods
The GM Approval Database, or GMAD, is one of ISAAA’s unique features that compiles all the available information about biotech/GM crops that have been approved for planting and importation for food and feed, and commercialization. ISAAA sources out the information from publicly available decision documents per country, Biosafety Clearing Houses and peer-reviewed scholarly articles to maintain the credibility of the database. Your contribution can help expand and maintain the GMAD and make useful information more available to researchers, students, and the general public. You can help by donating as little as $10.
