Write the name of gene which code Bt toxin. Name various types of genes which produce such toxin.
 Write the name of gene which code Bt toxin. Name various types of genes which produce such toxin.

Answer: The bt toxin is encoded by the “cry gene” .  The number of genes coding for novel insecticidal proteins has steadily expanded since the finding and cloning of the first Bt insecticidal crystal protein gene in 1981, necessitating the creation of an orderly nomenclature scheme.

 Cry toxins and their corresponding genes were given Roman numerals based on the insecticidal activity of the crystal protein, such as CryI for proteins toxic to lepidopterans, CryII for proteins toxic to both lepidopterans and dipterans, CryIII for proteins toxic to coleopterans, and CryIV for proteins toxic exclusively to dipterans in the first such system.
