Do they carry diseases?
Inoculated with some fungus or blight?
That was my thinking like the last season of the Last Ship, a genetically altered disease for plants that can be spread by a variety of plants and them pollination.
Like the original stat’s for COVID 19 but for plants
Probably just simple gmo seeds with Genetic use restriction technology (AKA GURT or Terminator genes):
Terminator is the popular name given to the Genetic Use Restriction Technology (GURT) that essentially shuts off the reproductive abilities of seeds, making second generation seeds sterile. According to many blog posts on anti-GMO websites, genetically engineered seeds are sterile due to agro-corporations developing terminator genes, which force farmers, particularly in the developing world, to buy seeds from one season to the next. In fact, the most controversial patent is shared by the US Department of Agriculture and no GMO seeds are sterile. The patents related to GURT have expired.
Anthrax would be bad.
The seeds are suspicious. But it’s been said that China wants America, its infrastructure, its farmland, etc. It’s strange that they would harm farms if they plan to take them over.
It’s all weird.
