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.

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 |

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

: '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!
