Transgenic cotton is created through the process of genetic engineering, where specific genes are inserted into the cotton plant's genome to introduce desired traits.
The most prominent example of transgenic cotton is Bt cotton.
It is genetically modified to express a protein derived from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt).
This protein is toxic to certain insect pests, providing built-in insect resistance.
