agricultural genetic engineering

Die Grüne Gentechnik oder Agrogentechnik ist die Anwendung gentechnischer Verfahren im Bereich der Züchtung von Pflanzen, deren Ergebnisse transgene Pflanzen genannt werden. Insbesondere bezeichnet der Begriff Verfahren zur Herstellung von pflanzlichen gentechnisch veränderten Organismen (GVO), in deren Erbgut gezielt einzelne Gene eingeschleust werden. Die Grüne Gentechnik ist somit Bestandteil der Grünen Biotechnologie.

agree Cetacea : Seems to be more popular than "plant genetic engineering", but both are used, with usage depending on what you'd like to emphasize.

Schönen Dank, Cetacea
agree Rolf Keiser : I'm missing the "green" or "environment-friendly" part here, even though genetic engineering can hardly be defined as such./Thanks for the feedback which is reason to agree.

Asker (in her note to Cilian O'Tuama's answer): "Grüne Gentechnik has got nothing to do with being environment-friendly, it refers to the use of transgenic plants in agriculture etc." // Danke, Goldcoaster.

green genetic engineering

"green" as in environment-friendly etc., not green as in plants.
Note from asker:
Grüne Gentechnik has got nothing to do with being environment-friendly, it refers to the use of transgenic plants in agriculture etc
Peer comment(s):
disagree Cetacea : Definitely not! This is about plant genetic engineering.//Generally speaking, yes, but "grüne Gentechnik" is a fixed term regardless of context. See e.g. the definition supplied by the Max Planck Institue: http://tinyurl.com/y876og9

goes to show that context can be helpful
agree Lancashireman : 'Green' is all the rage nowadays, along with 'global warming' (or 'climate change' as it has been redesignated since this last winter). // Happy Green Thursday!
2 hrs
unless they mean Gentechnik in der Pflanzenzucht/Landwirtschaft
