“植物新品种权”与美国的“植物专利”（Plant Patent）相呼应，但又不能等同，故不能译为Plant Patent，最为常见的译法为Plant variety rights，也可译为Plant breeders' rights。

Wikipedia中对Plant variety rights的解释如下：

Plant breeders' rights (PBR), also known as plant variety rights (PVR), are rights granted to the breeder of a new variety of plant that give the breeder exclusive control over the propagating material (including seed, cuttings, divisions, tissue culture) and harvested material (cut flowers, fruit, foliage) of a new variety for a number of years.

With these rights, the breeder can choose to become the exclusive marketer of the variety, or to license the variety to others. In order to qualify for these exclusive rights, a variety must be new, distinct, uniform, and stable. A variety is:

· new if it has not been commercialized for more than one year in the country of protection;

· distinct if it differs from all other known varieties by one or more important botanical characteristics, such as height, maturity, color, etc.;

· uniform if the plant characteristics are consistent from plant to plant within the variety;

· stable if the plant characteristics are genetically fixed and therefore remain the same from generation to generation, or after a cycle of reproduction in the case of hybrid varieties.

The breeder must also give the variety an acceptable "denomination", which becomes its generic name and must be used by anyone who markets the variety.

Typically, plant variety rights are granted by national offices after examination. Seed is submitted to the plant variety office, who grow it for one or more seasons, to check that it is distinct, stable, and uniform. If these tests are passed, exclusive rights are granted for a specified period (typically 20/25 years, or 25/30 years for trees and vines). Renewal fees (often, annual) are required to maintain the rights.

再来看看植物新品种权的中文释义及相关法条：

植物新品种权的概念有广义与狭义之分，广义上的植物新品种权是指育种者对植物新品种的生产方法及植物新品种所享有的独占性的权利；狭义上的植物新品种权是指育种者对植物新品种依法享有的独占性权利。

《中华人民共和国种子法》（以下简称“《种子法》”）第二十八条规定，植物新品种权所有人对其授权品种享有排他的独占权。任何单位或者个人未经植物新品种权所有人许可，不得生产、繁殖和为繁殖而进行处理、许诺销售、销售、进口、出口以及为实施上述行为储存该授权品种的繁殖材料，不得为商业目的将该授权品种的繁殖材料重复使用于生产另一品种的繁殖材料。本法、有关法律、行政法规另有规定的除外。

根据《种子法》及《中华人民共和国植物新品种保护条例》（以下简称“《条例》”）的有关规定，植物新品种权的保护范围是植物新品种的繁殖材料以及使用授权品种的繁殖材料获得的收获材料。繁殖材料是指可繁殖植物的种植材料或植物体的其他部分，包括籽粒、果实和根、茎、苗、芽、叶等。

综上，植物新品种权译为Plant breeders' rights (PBR)或plant variety rights (PVR)。

具体使用场景可参考如下双语例句：

植物品种权是一种新的知识产权，对于加强植物新品种的保护具有重要意义。

As a new kind of intellectual property rights, the plant variety right has important function.
