heya!!
here is your answer ⤵️⤵️
BT means bacillus thuringiensis is the name of a bacterium.
It produces a toxin which kills pests on plants or crops.
The Bacterium is used as bio pesticide.
In transgenic crop plants this toxin producing gene was separated from the bacterium and transferred into the crop plants.
So this can protect it from pests.
for example :
B.t. cotton.
it shows severe impact on plants and animals.
