Helium-3 on the Moon

Imagine a substance, one kilogram of which costs twenty million dollars. It is almost never found on Earth, but is abundantly scattered across the surface of the Moon. It can cool quantum computers to temperatures near absolute zero, and perhaps someday will become fuel for clean fusion energy. This isn’t the plot of a science fiction novel. This is helium-3 — a rare isotope that today has found itself at the center of a new space race.

This article examines the phenomenon of so-called "one-year seeds" — seeds that produce a crop only in the first generation and cannot be used for subsequent sowing. Based on an analysis of the history of Genetic Use Restriction Technology (GURT), known as "Terminator Technology," as well as F1 hybrid seeds currently available on the market, the article reconstructs the actual picture of which seeds truly require annual purchase and why. Particular attention is devoted to distinguishing myths from facts: no agricultural corporation in the world has commercialized genetically modified sterile seeds, yet F1 hybrid seeds, widely available on the market, are biologically unsuitable for seed saving. For Ukraine's agricultural sector, where farmers annually face a choice between the productivity of hybrids and the cost savings of traditional varieties, understanding these mechanisms holds special practical significance.
