網上有關孟三都的官司很多，但和農民的官司基本原因就是孟說農民未經許可用了他們專利的種子或特點（自然傳播到附近的農田的），而農民則說孟的專利種子汙染了他們的莊稼地使他們的有機作物不純了。這說明了什麽？就是轉基因的作物不是絕育的，它們的花粉和種子隨風飄到附近農田裏就在那裏生根發芽，所以才有這些官司。這說明將轉基因作物說成絕育的是一個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.
