Biomagnification: Mostorganochlorines (banned in US in1970s and 80s) were found tomagnify in birds of prey thinningof egg shells and breakage duringincubation
Hormoligosis: Sublethal dose ofinsecticides can stimulate thegrowth of insects. Found in:
Two-spotted spider mite(Tetranychus urticae)
Western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera) Brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens)

Pros Boon to small scale farmers and agrial economy
98% mortality in shoots and 100% in fruits of Bt brinjal average increase of 116-166% marketable fruits over non-Bt brinjal
Projected net economic benefit range from Rs 16,299 to Rs 19,744 per acre tofarmers and national benefit to India will be 400 million USD per year
(Executive summary, ISAAA, 2009)
Reduced tractor fuel usage as a result of reduced number of sprays (DBT, GoI)
Farmers in Gujarat, Maharashtra, A.P, T.N were significantly benefitted from Btcotton cultivation (IIM-A, Gandhi and Namboodiri, 2006)
During 1996-2008, In US, 7 billion USD economic benefits from Bt corn (Susckiw, 2010)
In 2008, global net economic benefits to biotech crop farmers was 9.2 billion USD
(4.7 billion in developing, 4.5 billion in developed countries)
During 1996-2008, these benefits were 26.1 billion USD for developing and 25.8billion USD for developed nations

Significant reduction in pesticides, saving on fossil fuels, decreased GHGemission due to no/reduced spraying
During 1996-2008, cummulative reduction in pesticide usage was 356million Kg active ingredient , which meant:
1. 8.4% saving on pesticides
2. 16.1% reduction in associated environmental impact of pesticides use
measured by Environmental Impact Quotient
In 2008 alone, the reduction was 34.6 million Kg a.i, which meant:
1. 9.6% saving on pesticide
2. 18.2% reduction in environmental impact
In 2008, saving of 1.22 billion Kg CO2 equivalent to saving from about
half a million reduction in no.of cars on roads! (ISAAA, 2009)
In 1998, 8.3 million pound a.i. was cut by planting Bt crops in US(USDA, 1998)

Antibiotic marker genes present in Bt transgene is suspected to gettransferred our gut micro-organisms to cause them survive oralantibiotic doses
But in human stomach all food first passes through acidic environmentwhere all foreign DNA is digested
Still research is being carried on to preclude a rare occurrence of genetransfer, if any
Use of safer markers1.Green flourescent protein as visual marker
2.- glucoronidase gene
3.Phosphomannose isomerase (PMI) and xylose isomerase (xylA)genes
4.rol genes Removal of markers
1.Co-transformation
2.Site specific recombination
3.Intrachromosomal recombination
4.Use of transposases

Bt toxin has been used for more than 50 years as a biological insecticide
(Musser and Shelton ,2003; Carriere et al, 2003; Qaim and Zilberman, 2003)
Show specific activity against narrow group of insects and have no orlittle direct effect on non-target organisms (Perlaket al, 1990; Carriere et al, 2003; Qaim and Zilberman, 2003)
The Cry1Ac endo-toxin when cooked breaks down into common aminoacids in the digestive system, which are part of the normal diet andare neither toxic nor allergic
The Cry1Ac endo-toxin works only in alkaline medium.
The human stomach is acidic, the digestive process will not be affected
by the introduction of the Cry1Ac toxin (Centre forEnvironmental Education, Ministry of Environment and Forests, GoI)

15 entries comprised Bt and non-Bt varieties and a national checkPusa hybrid.6
Observations were made on:
1. Number and weight of healthy and damaged fruits
2. Economic benefits
3. Effect on target insect, non-target pests and beneficial pests
Seedlings were provided by MAHYCO seeds and trials were monitoredby Institutional Bio-safety Committee (IBSC) on 19.92008 and15.11.2008
Bt brinjal hybrids showed better performance than non-Bt and
national check on all attributes (Evaluation report on Large Scale Field Trial of Bt-Brinjal
