including Monsanto s Bt cotton: a plant modified to produce a bacterial toxin that discourages destructive bollworms and cuts down on the need for pesticides.
At Rothamsted Research in Harpenden, UK, for example, scientists are working on GM plants that will need even less pesticide than Bt cotton,
Unlike Bt cotton and other existing GM organisms, such a crop would need no insect-killing chemical for protection from pests.
Bt Delta Endotoxin-The Bt delta endotoxin was selected because it is highly effective at controlling Lepidoptera larvae caterpillars.
For this reason GMOS that have the Bt gene are compatible with biological control programs
The Bt endotoxin is considered safe for humans other mammals fish birds and the environment because of its selectivity.
Bt has been available as a commercial microbial insecticide since the 1960s and is sold under many trade names.
Bt-corn is a type of genetically modified organism termed GMO. A GMO is a plant
