genetic use restriction technology
- genetic use restriction technology
Abbreviation: GURT
A proposed technology applying
transgenesis to genetically compromise the fertility or the performance of saved seed of a
cultivar or of second generation animals. The intention is to protect the market for the seed producer or to prevent undesired escape of genes. Two types of GURTs have been patented: variety-level GURT (V-GURT), which produces
sterile progeny, and
trait-specific GURT (T-GURT), in which only the added value transgenic trait is genetically protected.
