  The article doesn't specifically mention Monsanto, though I couldn't imagine them not pursuing this technology. Also, thankfully: > As of 2006, GURT seeds have not been commercialized anywhere in the world due to opposition from farmers, consumers, indigenous peoples, NGOs, and some governments. It's a common narrative that Monsanto did release crops into the wild that caused nearby farms to produce sterile crops after incidental cross-pollination. It seems like this is misinformation?

    It's absolutely misinformation, as is almost everything else you read on the subject of GMOs.
