Maize LY038


Trait: Increased amino acid production (Lysin).
Inserted genes:
cordapA-gene

Source: Corynebacterium glutamicum

Function: The introduction of the cordapA gene results in the production of a maize grain with higher lysine content and improved nutritional value for use as a feed

Marker gene nptII (gene conferring resistance to kanamycin)

The marker gene is removed using the Cre/Lox system following genetic transformation and selection.

Method of genetic modification: Microparticle bombardment of plant cells or tissue.
