Pest management

a genetic control approach that uses constructs reducing heterozygote fitness so a released trait spreads only above a threshold frequency and stays local.

In pest management, engineered underdominance refers to a genetic control approach that uses constructs reducing heterozygote fitness so a released trait spreads only above a threshold frequency and stays local. This meaning comes from Davis (2001) in Journal of Theoretical Biology.[1]
