The method uses carbon nanoparticles as a vehicle to get genetic material into the plant. And by doing that, we hopefully can then figure out what these genes do. So you're looking at completely non-genetically modified plants. It's only when you add these nanodots is any kind of genetic manipulation or fiddling around happening.
