But so far, no one has found an insect-resistant cowpea or a Striga-resistant maize plant.

但到目前为止，还没有人找到一种抗虫害的豇豆或者抗杂草的玉米品种。

The question at the heart of the case was how to apply a judicially created doctrine that originated in the 19th century to 21st-century innovations like drought- and insect-resistant crops, which require hundreds millions of dollars to develop but which can be readily copied millions of times because they consist of genetic or other easily replicable material.

For example, widespread failure in our handful of remaining major crops and animal breeds due to disease or pest outbreaks is a very real possibility: given that pest and pathogens are constantly evolving, a diverse gene pool is essential if we are to develop insect- and disease-resistant strains in the future.
