Types of GMO Genetic Traits Genetic Change

 To stop browning due to oxidation when diced,

APPLE Non-browning the GMO apple is modified and inserted with
other species of apple.

Reduced Bruising and  Amflora (also known as EH92-527-1) was

Black Spot Non- designed to resist attack from the Colorado
POTATO browning potatobeetle due to the insertion of Bt toxin
Low Acrylamide producing genes from the bacterium Bacillus
Blight Resistance thuringiensis.

 Glyphosate herbicide (Roundup) tolerance

conferred by expression of a glyphosate-tolerant
ALFALFA Herbicide Tolerance form of the plant enzyme 5-
enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase
(EPSPS) isolated from the soil bacterium
Agrobacterium tumefaciens, strain CP4
 Resistance to insect pests, specifically the
SOYBEAN Insect Resistance European corn borer, through expression of the
Herbicide Tolerance insecticidal protein Cry1Ab from Bacillus
thuringiensis
 Mutation of P1 and HC-Pro genes resulted in
RAINBOW Disease Resistance the attenuation of PRSV symptoms in papaya.
PAPAYA Expressing the coat protein gene of PRSV are
resistant to the virus.

 Resistance to insect pests, specifically the

COTTON Insect Resistance European corn borer, through expression of the
Herbicide Tolerance insecticidal protein Cry1Ab from Bacillus
thuringiensis

 Sugar beets H7-1 was developed by first

making a piece of DNA, called an expression
SUGAR BEET Herbicide Tolerance cassette, that contains the cp4 epsps gene for
tolerance to the herbicide glyphosate, which is
the active ingredient in Roundup agricultural
herbicides.

 Resistance to insect pests, specifically the

SWEET CORN Insect Resistance European corn borer, through expression of the
Herbicide Tolerance insecticidal protein Cry1Ab from Bacillus
thuringiensis
  The virus is immune to the transition of GE virus
SUMMER SQUASH Virus Resistance resistance from yellow squash to zucchini
through traditional breeding (yellow squash and
zucchini are the same species and are readily
available for breeding).
 A genetic sequence was used from the virus
PAPAYA Virus Resistance and inserted it into the genome of the papaya. A
number of species of aphids transmit the virus in
a non-persistent manner.
