What does Bt stand for in Bt Brinjal?

Bt stands for bacillus thuringiensis, a common soil bacterium toxic to lepidopteran insects. When "Bt" is placed before a plant name, such as in "Bt Brinjal" (the brinjal is known in the US as eggplant), it means the plant has been genetically modified to produce a protein toxic to certain insects in the same way the bacteria does.The protein has not been shown to be harmful to humans but is controversial in other contexts.

What bacteria is introduced in bt brinjal?

This is a common misconception. There is no actual bacteria introduced by the Bt Brinjal. Only a gene, Cry1Ac, from the common soil bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis, is actually introduced. This forces the plant to synthesize a protein toxic to Lepidopteran insects, so that when they feed upon the plant, they become ill and die.Although still controversial, there is anecdotal evidence of allergenic responses to Bt crops of various kinds.
