Scientific Background
BT Cry1 is a gene found in Bacillus thuringiensis, a gram-positive bacterium that produces a toxin that can be utilized as a pesticide. The gene BT Cry1 encodes the protein that is toxic to insects. When expressed and produced in crops such as corn, it acts as a built-in insecticide for the plants. Due to the protein’s toxic nature, there are concerns that this gene will have a negative impact on the consumer’s health.
