Explanation:

Genetically engineered form of brinjal, known as the Bt-brinjal, has been developed. The basic objective of this is to make it pest-resistant.
The Bt brinjal is a suite of transgenic brinjals (also known as an eggplant or aubergine) created by inserting a crystal protein gene (Cry1Ac) from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis into the genome of various brinjal cultivars.
