<P> 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 . The insertion of the gene , along with other genetic elements such as promoters , terminators and an antibiotic resistance marker gene into the brinjal plant is accomplished using Agrobacterium - mediated genetic transformation . The Bt brinjal has been developed to give resistance against lepidopteron insects , in particular the Brinjal Fruit and Shoot Borer ( Leucinodes orbonalis ) ( FSB ) . Mahyco , an Indian seed company based in Jalna , Maharashtra , has developed the Bt brinjal . </P>
