This is a common misconception. There is no actual bacteria introduced by the Bt Brinjal. Only a gene, Cry1Ac, from the common soil bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis, is actually introduced. This forces the plant to synthesize a protein toxic to Lepidopteran insects, so that when they feed upon the plant, they become ill and die.
Although still controversial, there is anecdotal evidence of allergenic responses to Bt crops of various kinds.
Bt stands for bacillus thuringiensis, a common soil bacterium toxic to lepidopteran insects. When "Bt" is placed before a plant name, such as in "Bt Brinjal" (the brinjal is known in the US as eggplant), it means the plant has been genetically modified to produce a protein toxic to certain insects in the same way the bacteria does.The protein has not been shown to be harmful to humans but is controversial in other contexts.

It's about as poisonous as non-Bt brinjal, UNLESS you are a member of the Lepidoptera insect family. In that case, it means certain death.
Bacillus thuringiensis
Bhagirath Choudhary has written: 'The development and regulation of Bt brinjal in India (Eggplant/Aubergine)'
Is brinjal is monocotyledons
In Italian, brinjal is called "melanzana."
The proteins produced by the bacterium,Bacillus thuringiensis (or Bt) are called Cry proteins.The genes from the Bt. bacteria called Cry genes which code for Cry proteins are introduced into the crop genome to provide resistance against pests and improve its productivity.
The Bt gene produces a soil-inhabiting bacteria. This bacteria is known to be made into insecticides and kills insects that eat plants with the Bt genes.
explain common but differentiated responsibility
BT (Bacillus Thuringiensis) is a bacteria that lives in the soil. To find more information on this a person can go to PHYS Organization website, it is a Chinese website that has information on BT.
Brinjal is called "kathirikkai" in Tamil.
