One of the advantages of the BT Cotton is that it does not have the actual bacterium Bacillus thuriengensis in it which is harmless to humans. The other advantage is that the BT Cotton successfully repels the boll weevil larvae.
Example of a transgenic tobacco plant is the insect resistant variety. A gene from Bacillus thuringiensis which is lethal to many pests is introduced into the plant genome to impart resistance to many insect pests.
Transposons are DNA sequences that can move within a genome, potentially disrupting genes. In transgenic plants, transposons can be used as a tool to insert foreign genes into the plant genome. The transposon can carry the foreign gene to a new location in the plant's DNA, leading to the production of a transgenic plant with new traits.
BT-plant means plant having BT-gene like BT-cotton. These are transgenic plants developed by genetic engineering.

A plant that contains a gene or genes from another organism that has been introduced artificially into the plant's genetic makeup is called a transgenetic plant. It is also called genetic engineering.
The prefix for "transgenic" is "trans-".
