The term “Recipient organism” refers to an organism (either already modified or non-modified) that was subjected to genetic modification, whereas “Parental organisms” refers to those that were involved in cross breeding or cell fusion.

Some of these genetic elements may be present as fragments or truncated forms. Please see notes below, where applicable.

BCH-GENE-SCBD-14972-12 Phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase gene | Streptomyces hygroscopicus (STRHY)Protein coding sequence | Resistance to herbicides (Glufosinate)
-
BCH-GENE-SCBD-100287-7 CaMV 35S promoter | Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV)Promoter
-
BCH-GENE-SCBD-103067-9 Transcript 7 gene 3' untranslated region | Agrobacterium tumefaciens (Agrobacterium)Terminator

BCH-GENE-SCBD-14975-5 Beta-lactamase gene | Escherichia coli (ECOLX)Protein coding sequence | Resistance to antibiotics (Ampicillin)
The native bar gene initiation codon was modified from GTG to ATG to conform with plant codon usage.
Southern blot analysis indicated that a single copy of the T-DNA was inserted into the host genome with several deletions and rearrangements of some genetic elements. The insertion contains a single intact copy of the bar gene and single incomplete copies of the 35s promoter and beta-lactamase gene. Furthermore, bacterial promoter region for ß-lactamase gene is present in DLL 25, but the gene is truncated in the 3’ region. It was determined (1) that the truncated ß-lactamase gene present in DLL 25 line did not, when introduced into the E. coli, produce active ß-lactamase, and (2) that the truncated ß-lactamase gene present in the DLL 25 line does not produce any protein detectable on a Western blot. The insert also contains two partial copies of the T7 terminator element.

The maize line DLL25 (synonym B16) was genetically engineered to express tolerance to glufosinate ammonium, the active ingredient in phosphinothricin herbicides (Basta®, Rely®, Finale®, and Liberty®). Glufosinate chemically resembles the amino acid glutamate and acts to inhibit an enzyme, called glutamine synthetase, which is involved in the synthesis of glutamine. Essentially, glufosinate acts enough like glutamate, the molecule used by glutamine synthetase to make glutamine, that it blocks the enzyme's usual activity. Glutamine synthetase is also involved in ammonia detoxification. The action of glufosinate results in reduced glutamine levels and a corresponding increase in concentrations of ammonia in plant tissues, leading to cell membrane disruption and cessation of photosynthesis resulting in plant withering and death.
Glufosinate tolerance in this maize line is the result of introducing a gene encoding the enzyme phosphinothricin-N-acetyltransferase (PAT) isolated from the common aerobic soil actinomycete, Streptomyces hygroscopicus, the same organism from which glufosinate was originally isolated. The PAT enzyme catalyzes the acetylation of phosphinothricin, detoxifying it into an inactive compound.
