Term	Definition
xenobiotic	a foreign chemical compound or substance that is toxic to a biological system. Xenobiotics include naturally occurring compounds, drugs, or environmental agents. Many plants have an inherent ability to detoxify xenobiotics; when genetically engineered to completely degrade such compounds, these plants can be used to clean up polluted soil and water resources.
