Essay topics:

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 natural trees; that is, they are more likely to survive than their unmodified counterparts. In Hawaii, for example, a new pest-resistant species of papaya tree has been developed in response to ringspot virus infestations 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 wood, 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.

Both the reading and lecture discuss whether genetic modifications plants flourish or enhances the trees. The former argues that genetic modification plants could yield huge fruits, grow profusely and can tolerant adverse climate, there are three possible benefits to doing so, but latter challenges each of these points.

First of all, the author of the passage asserts that unlike genetic unmodified plants, modified trees could withstand in adverse wether; genetic modifications papaya plants would resist against ring spot diseases. However, the professor of lecture contends that it does not hold true because genetically modified trees would not tolerant diverse climate as unmodified do. For instance, if the climate changes then the genetically modified plants will completely vanished, whereas few unmodified trees could servive.

Secondly, according to the passage, the expert opined that genetic modifications plants grow so speedily that they it could not only give higer yield,but also save money of pesticides. In contrast, the lecture objects this idea. She supports her argument by presenting the example of seed of genetically modified tress, since it cost higher than normal seed. Moreover, farmer has to purchase it every successive year, if it used once.

Finally, the passage claims that it quench the demand of wood and preserve rare trees because it grow so vigorously. Nevertheless, like two benefits before, the professor proclaims that this benefits is also not feasible because it grows so aggressive that it eradicate rare species. Indeed, it compete over the native species for resources such as nutrients and sunlight.
