Cotton‚ like many other plants‚ has a variety of pests which harm the plant and lower the amount of cotton a farmer produces. To combat this issue researchers have genetically modified cotton so that the plant excretes a toxin that is harmful to many of these pests‚ like Bollworms. BT Cotton stands for Bacillus thuringiensis‚ a bacterium. This bacterium produces and endotoxin‚ which is lethal to many of the pests. This toxin can be very useful because helpful insects are left unharmed.
