Recent news has stated how Monsanto are embarassed by this: many GM crop
fields are now plagued by weeds resistant to Roundup herbicide.

Really? Can you list a few, with the problems caused?

That means
extra doses of Roundup and other herbicides are being applied.

Why would you apply Roundup to a roundup resistant weed?

Does any
of it stay in the cotton lint, and on to the spun thread?

Any of what? Cotton is virtually pure cellulose.

If the lint of Bt cotton does not contain Bt I wonder if insects will
adapt to eating mainly the lint, thereby escaping too much toxin. Does a
wood borer get energy from cellulose?

The gut bacteria of some insects can digest cellulose, like silverfish
and termites. Perhaps wood borers too. I don't know about
caterpillars.
