	Regulation of gene expression in transgenic crops by chemical catalysts The implications of the above traitor technology are vast, since it allows the use of 'inducible promoters' for the development of a gene construct to switch on or switch off specific genes or a group of genes' (for a multigene trait) by applying an external catalyst, judiciously chosen by the seed company, marketing the transgenic seed. Thus, the farmers though will be able to use their own harvested seed for replantation, but only after spraying/soaking the harvested seed with a proprietary chemical.'
Theoretically, such a strategy- will not only spare the seed company from the expense and burden of producing seed for the farmers for each sowing, but will also enable the seed company to force the farmers to buy a proprietary chemical that may need to be sprayed, before the harvested seed can be used for replanting.
