Method of Trait Introduction:
Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated plant transformation

GM Trait s :
Glyphosate herbicide tolerance , Isoxaflutole herbicide tolerance

Commercial Trait:
(Stacked)  Herbicide Tolerance

Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
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
2mepsps	Zea mays	5-enolpyruvyl shikimate-3-phosphate synthase enzyme (double mutant version)	decreases binding affinity for glyphosate, thereby increasing tolerance to glyphosate herbicide
