Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
cry1A.105	Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kumamotoensis	Cry1A.105 protein which comprises the Cry1Ab, Cry1F and Cry1Ac proteins	confers resistance to lepidopteran insects by selectively damaging their midgut lining
cry2Ab2	Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kumamotoensis	Cry2Ab delta-endotoxin	confers resistance to lepidopteran insects by selectively damaging their midgut lining
cry1Ac	Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. Kurstaki strain HD73	Cry1Ac delta-endotoxin	confers resistance to lepidopteran insects by selectively damaging their midgut lining
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
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
