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.
In the lecture, the lecturer casts doubts on three points provided in the reading passage to support the genetic modification..The lecturer asserts that none of them provide satisfactory solutions.
Firstly, contrary to the belief in the reading passage that claims that the genetically reformed tree survives than their unmodified species, the lecturer think otherwise. The lecturer asserts that since the modified tree is more uniform and is modified for a particular character if a sudden climate change or new pest species attack then they become more vulnerable then the real, one and thus have a probability to be destroyed overall.
Secondly, according to the reading , the modified tree provide economical aid by providing a few new characteristics such as the fastest growth and resistance to the pest. Nevertheless , the lecturer refutes this argument. she argues that hidden causes may bring more cost to the modified species. she also adds that the modified tree can not be produced everywhere.
Finally, the reading states that the modified tree can conserve the endangered species by its characteristics of growing fast and survive in the hardest condition. On the contrary, the lecturer believes that more damage can take place since the unmodified species have to compete with the modified one for groundwater and nutrients. she further adds that , the whole native community can be replaced by the fast-growing modified tree and thus cause to be extinction rather than to conserve.
