The resilience of a stacked Bt technology is determined by the efficacy of each individual toxin in controlling insects.

The three-gene product Bollgard 3 is expected to be available commercially in 2015.

Genetic engineering to confer useful agronomic and fibre traits will lower the cost and time

required for producing improved cotton varieties and will promote environmentally-friendly

Gossypolis a naturally occurring sesquiterpene chemical and a product of secondary metabolism unique to cotton species.

Genetic engineering techniques allow the transfer of novel genetic material from one organism to another and hence has the potential to augment classical plant breeding techniques by extending the gene pool accessible
