The book examines the development, use, and management of technologies derived from \u003ci\u003eBacillus thuringiensis\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eBt\u003c\/i\u003e), addressing the health, economic, environmental, and social concerns generated by the deployment of genetically engineered crops. Authors representing a diverse cross section of the international scientific community contribute review articles and research findings that address the use of \u003ci\u003eBt\u003c\/i\u003e in microbial formulations and transgenic crops, technological advances in the genetic engineering of plants, advances in methodologies, and improved agricultural practices and productivity through the use of \u003ci\u003eBt\u003c\/i\u003e cotton. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBacillus thuringiensis\u003c\/i\u003e: A Cornerstone of Modern Agriculture examines the vital issues surrounding this Gram-positive bacterium.
