"Entering the dark age of imperialism" (the new colonization of GE) Tuesday Feb 1, 2011.

American sci-fi author Paolo Bacigalupi tells Stephen Jewell how his ruthless corporations’ environmental impact could be mirrored in real life......

According to novelist Bacigalupi, 'The Windup Girl' is very relevant to New Zealand, which is still proudly GE-free. "It's rife in our US food supply here, especially corn products," he says. "There's continual attempts by these companies to push their products. They say they want to feed the world and we have to innovate our way out of our population growth. The Terminator gene comes up quite a lot in the book and it's actually a real technology.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GURT

They can create sterile seeds that they sell to farmers who then have to come back to them year after year because you cannot physically replant them. When a company goes out of its way to create a technology like that, it really tells you a lot about their values."

Genetic use restriction technology (GURT), colloquially known as terminator technology, is the name given to proposed methods for restricting the use of genetically modified plants by causing second generation seeds to be sterile.
