Firstly, genetically modified trees are designed to be hardier than nature trees; that is, they are more likely to survive than their unmodified counterparts. In Hawaii, for example, a new pest-resistant species of papaya trees has been developed in response to ringspot virus infections that have repeatedly damaged the native papaya tree population. Planting the genetically modified papayas has largely put an end to the ringspot problem.
Moreover, genetically modified trees promise to bring a number of economic benefits to those who grow them. Genetically modified trees tend to grow faster, give greater yields of food, fruit, or other products and be hardier. This allows tree farmers to get faster and greater returns on their farming investment and save on pesticides as well.
Finally, the use of genetically modified trees can prevent overexploitation of wild trees. Because of the growing demand for firewood or building timber, many forests around the world are being cut down faster than they can be replaced. Introducing genetically modified trees, designed for fast growth and high yield in given geographic conditions, would satisfy the demand for wood in many of those areas and save the endangered native trees, which often include unique or rare species.
The reading and lecturer contradict each other about genetically mutated plants provide a plethora of benefits or not.
First of all, genetically grown trees are able to counteract for diseases and survive for longer than natural trees. For example, the ringspot virus destroyed the original papaya tree population and a new genetically mutated papaya tree reacted very well to the ringspot virus infections. This stopped the ringspot trouble. However, the lecturer refutes this statement by pointing out that resistance to one particular condition will not sustain for a long period. Most of their conditions are adapted to specific climatic conditions. So, given more uniform conditions, all will die when there is sudden climate change. for example, any new pest introduced will completely wipe out all the trees.
Secondly, the article contends that genetically mutated trees have a plethora of economic benefits. This includes faster growth, more yields of vegetables and fruits. In contrast, the professor rebuts this point and says that there are hidden cause and effect behind these benefit. Furthermore, the speaker avers that to test the seeds and collect, the farmers need to pay high fees; also according to new norms, farmers have to pay for every item.
Finally, the writer posits that as human cut the trees for personal use such as firewood or building many trees are being cut faster than actually replanting; genetically modified plants have the capability to thrive fast to save geographic conditions. On the other hand, the lecturer says that there are more chances to damage nature due to this fast aggressive growth of mutated trees. This, in fact, outcompetes for nature and also even the crowd out the natural tree soils.
