Solution
The proteins encoded by the gene named Cry are called Cry proteins. Bt toxin is the protein encoded by the gene Cry.
The organism that produces Cry proteins - Bacillus thuringiensis.
The cry genes are incorporated in several crop plants which then develop resistance to a specifically targeted pest.
Example cry I Ac and cry IIAb control the cotton bollworms, that of cry I Ab controls corn borer.
