Conclusion – Bt Crops
Bacillus thuringiensis crops, or Bt crops, are a type of genetically modified (GM) crop. Bacillus thuringiensis is the source of their genes. These crops are engineered to generate particular proteins from the bacterium, providing resistance against specific pests. It is important to remember that views regarding the growing of transgenic Bt crops differ by location, and in many of them, official consent is required. In India, Bt cotton is approved and Bt brinjal is under process.
