Soybean 356043


Trait: Tolerance to glyphosate-containing herbicides (Roundup®)
Inserted gene:
gat-gene

Source: Bacterium Bacillus lichiformis.

Function: The gat gene encodes for a version of ALS that is highly tolerant to inhibition by glyphosate and therefore leads to increased tolerance to glyphosate-containing herbicides.

Methods for the genetic modification: Microparticle bombardment of plant cells or tissue.
