Genetic modification, a process used to change an organism’s genes and hence its characteristics, is now being used to improve trees through genetic modification. It is possible to create trees that produce more fruit, grow faster, or withstand adverse conditions. Planting genetically modified trees on a large scale promises to bring a number of benefits.
First, 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 ring spot 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 farmer 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 and 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.
<span style="font-size: 19.36px;">There is a heated debate on genetic modification of trees improvements. In the lecture, admitting that genetic modification would bring some benefits, the professor points out some serious problems and costs resulting from genetic engineering.
First, the author asserts genetically modified trees are more resistant to certain conditions, while the professor points out that the special characters of genetic trees cannot guarantee their survival. The professor reckons that in fact uniform gene made by genetic modification is likely to lead a completely extinct during an environment challenge, while some of the ordinary trees with various genes might have some survivals.
Second, the reading passage suggests an economical benefit due to genetically modified trees' faster growth and higher yields, however, the professor contends that there is hidden cost behind modification trees, because the seeds genetic trees are much more expensive than natural trees and farmer needs to pay to government for each plant.
Third, the statement in the reading passage argues genetically modified trees could save endangered trees from overexploitation, the professor denies this view owing to resource limitation in the soil. Genetic trees tend to grows aggressively at a cost of nutrition depletion, but this brings disasters to local wild trees.</span><br>
