Summary of Basic Genetic Modification
| Gene Introduced | Gene Source | Product | Function |
| fad2-1A (sense and antisense) | Glycine max | no functional enzyme is produced (production of delta-12 desaturase enzyme is suppressed by RNA interference) | reduces desaturation of 18:1 oleic acid to 18:2 linoleic acid; increases the levels of monounsaturated oleic acid and decreases the levels of saturated linoleic acid in the seed |
| fatb1-A (sense and antisense segments) | Glycine max | no functional enzyme is produced (production of FATB enzymes or acyl-acyl carrier protein thioesterases is suppressed by RNA interference) | decreases the transport of saturated fatty acids out of the plastid, thereby increasing their availability to desaturation to 18:1 oleic acid; reduces the levels of saturated fatty acids and increases the levels of 18:1 oleic acid |
| dmo | Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strain DI-6 | dicamba mono-oxygenase enzyme | confers tolerance to the herbicide dicamba (2-methoxy-3,6-dichlorobenzoic acid) by using dicamba as substrate in an enzymatic reaction |
