suicide seed

名詞

(genetic engineering) A proposed kind of modified seed whose use would be restricted by having important genes activated only in response to some stimulus (such as a special chemical), and which would otherwise produce infertile second-generation seeds.

日本語の意味

遺伝子工学の分野で提案された種で、特定の刺激（例えば特殊な化学物質）を受けると重要な遺伝子が活性化されるため使用が制限される。一方、刺激がない場合には、その種から得られる二世代目の種が不妊になることを目的とした改変種。

The biotech company proposed a suicide seed designed so its essential genes would be activated only after application of a proprietary inducer, ensuring second-generation seeds would be infertile without that treatment.

そのバイオ企業は、重要な遺伝子が専用の誘導物質によってのみ活性化され、処置がなければ第二世代の種子が不稔となるよう設計された自滅性の種子を提案した。
