网上有关孟三都的官司很多，但和农民的官司基本原因就是孟说农民未经许可用了他们专利的种子或特点（自然传播到附近的农田的），而农民则说孟的专利种子污染了他们的庄稼地使他们的有机作物不纯了。这说明了什么？就是转基因的作物不是绝育的，它们的花粉和种子随风飘到附近农田里就在那里生根发芽，所以才有这些官司。这说明将转基因作物说成绝育的是一个myth。
Myth 1: Seeds from GMOs are sterile.
No, they'll germinate and grow just like any other plant. This idea presumably has its roots in a real genetic modification (dubbed the Terminator Gene by anti-biotech activists) that can make a plant produce sterile seeds. Monsanto owns the patent on this technique, but has promised not to use it.
Now, biotech companies — and Monsanto in particular — do seem to wish that this idea were true. They do their best to keep farmers from replanting the offspring from GMOs. But they do this because, in fact, those seeds will multiply.
