An outlaw on seed monopolies with respect to genetic use of restriction technology – India

The terminator technology is the main application of a broadly framed pattern for the “control of plant gene expression”. The terminator is a genetically engineered suicide mechanism that can be triggered off by a specific outside stimulus. As a result, the seeds of the next generation will self-destruct by self-poisoning. Terminator technology is the Trojan horse for the spread of generality-Engineered crops in the south. The most alarming is the terminator genes themselves could infect the agricultural gene pool of the neighbour’s crops and of wild and weedy relatives. Temporary “gene silencing” of the poison gene or failed activation of the terminator countdown enables such infection. The terminator increases the risks through the new toxins and allergens will show up in our food and animal fodder.
