The full form of LMO is living modified organisms.
Living Modified Organisms (LMOs) are organisms in which the genetic material has been altered through genetic engineering in a way that does not occur naturally by mating or natural recombination. These organisms are often created for specific purposes, such as enhancing crop yields, improving nutritional content, or developing resistance to pests and diseases.
LMOs are subject to regulations and safety assessments because of concerns about potential impacts on human health, biodiversity, and the environment. International agreements, such as the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, govern the transboundary movement of LMOs.
