Thank you, Malcolm!
Malcolm Mayfield Sep 4, 2007:
Some more context, if available, could help narrow down the choices.
Note that in some contexts "basic seed" or "foundation seed stock" is appropriate.

stock seed/original seed/foundation seed/Wildspecies

原种 stock seed,original seed (1)指育种中为了生产农业用种子而在种子田〔原种圃(registered seed farm)〕中播种的种子。原种的原种称为原原种(foundation seed)在采选原种时必须注意保持育成品种的特性和防止品种退化。进行原种制种时,自交作物务必要求纯系。异交作物虽不是纯系,但是选择的种群也应与其他的植株进行隔离。在家禽中原种习惯用original breed,orrgi-nal stock,一词,家鸡育种中称为grand parentstock。(2)在园艺植物中,作为改良品种或栽培品种的对应词,把其祖先的地方种及野生种(Wildspecies)统称为原种。(3)等于基本种。

protospecies/foundation stock seeds/original seed/foundation seed

I find such equivalents in English, the first one seems more available than others in term of a jargon needed.
