Science - Botany / Contract for long-haul transport of plants
English term or phrase: stun bud
Good morning everyone. This sentence is from a contract governing the long-haul transport of plants from Central Asia to the EU. CONTEXT:

"XXX shall ensure that plants producing poisonous substances or spores and those bearing thorns, stun buds or other potentially harmful structures are duly marked."

Google only yields 10 hits for "stun buds", none of which seems to relate to plants. TIA.

Explanation:
Yo me decantaría por la primera opción, ya que las plantas tienden más a envenenar/paralizar que a aturdir.
