RSSTransgenic plants
Transgenic plants are plants
that have been genetically
engineered, a breeding
approach that uses
recombinant DNA techniques
to create plants with new
characteristics.They are
identified as a class of

Genetically modified organism
A genetically modified
organism (GMO) is an
organism whose genetic
material has been altered
using techniques in genetics
generally known as
recombinant DNA technology.

Vector (biology)
Traditionally in medicine, a
vector is an organism that
does not cause disease
itself but which spreads
infection by conveying
pathogens from one host to
another. Species of
mosquito, for example, serve

Somatic cell
A somatic cell is generally
taken to mean any cell
forming the body of an
organism. Somatic cells, by
definition, are not germline
cells. In mammals, germline
cells are the sperm and ova
(also known as "gametes")
