What does Panos mean here?

Context:
The commercial success of GE crop varieties typically requires that
biotechnology-derived trait enhancements be incorporated into successful
cultivars (cultivated varieties with useful agronomic properties),the devel-
opment of which requires significant knowledge of traditional plant
breeding and the availability of genetic material (germplasm). This comple-
mentarity has been related to various institutional arrangements between
seed and technology suppliers.
GE crops are often classified into one of three generations (Panos). Crops
with enhanced input traits,such as herbicide tolerance,insect resistance,and
tolerance to environmental stresses (like drought),represent the first genera-
tion. GE crops benefit farmers and may also offer environmental benefits.
Second-generation crops include those with added-value output traits,such
as nutrient enhancement for animal feed. Consumers will benefit directly
from these products when they are available on the market. The third gener-
ation includes crops that produce pharmaceuticals or improve processing of
bio-based fuels,and products beyond traditional food and fiber. At present,
adoption of GE crops is generally limited to those with first-generation traits,
which were tested on a large scale (field testing) in the 1980s to ensure that
