| plants, edible | An organism of the vegetable kingdom suitable by nature for use as a food, especially by human beings. Not all parts of any given plant are edible but all parts of edible plants have been known to figure as raw or cooked food: leaves, roots, tubers, stems, seeds, buds, fruits, and flowers. The most commonly edible parts of plants are fruit, usually sweet, fleshy, and succulent. Most edible plants are commonly cultivated for their nutritional value and are referred to as vegetables.

| plants, medicinal | Plants whose roots, leaves, seeds, bark, or other constituent possess therapeutic, tonic, purgative, or other pharmacologic activity when administered to higher animals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| plants, toxic | Plants or plant parts which are harmful to man or other animals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| plants, transgenic | Plants into which genetic material from another species has been transferred. The technique most frequently applied makes use of a natural plant-directed gene vector, the gram-negative soil bacterium agrobacterium tumefaciens. A second system more analogous to those used for transforming mammalian cell lines is the direct transfer of DNA into plant protoplasts, for example by electroporation or polyethylene glycol treatment.
