Correct Answer: To make it pest-resistant. Bt brinjal is a suite of transgenic brinjals formed by inserting crystal protein gene from soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis in genome of many brinjal cultivars like promoters, terminators and antibiotic resistance marker genes by Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation. It results in modification in genes of Brinjal with genetic engineering. Bt brinjal used to give resistance against lepidopteron insects, in particular the Brinjal Fruit and Shoot Borer.
