The cells, plants, or progeny resulting from this process are said to be transformed where there is a demonstration of the expression in the recipient organism of unique marker genes carried by the transferred DNA. | Genetic transformation consists of the transfer and incorporation into a cell of [[DNA]], especially [[recombinant DNA]].
