Both the reading and the lecture discuss genetic modification. The reading implies that genetic modification will bring a number of benefits. However, the professor strongly disagrees with the reading passage. Accordingly, she presents three refutations.
First of all, the reading passage mentions that genetically modified trees are more likely to survive than their unmodified counterparts. Yet, the professor severely challenges the theory by arguing that it is not necessary for genetically modified trees are designed to resist the particular situation. Furthermore, she states that genetically modified trees are uniform. As a result, if they face other challenges, like climate change, they will all die. Therefore, the first theory is not convincing at all.
Secondly, the article suggests that genetically modified plants will bring economic benefit to farmers. Nevertheless, the scholar seriously contradicts the statement by maintaining that the companies selling genetically modified plants usually charge farmers more. Moreover, farmers cannot collect the plants they grow for free. Actually, they should pay to companies anytime. Hence, genetically modified plants cannot bring benefits to farmers.
Last but not least, the reading indicates that genetically modifies trees can prevent overexploitation of wild trees. Once again, the speaker opposes the statement by contending that genetically modifies trees would damage the local trees. In addition, since genetically modifies trees grow more aggressively than local ones, they would compete for the resource, such as sunlight, nutrition or water, with local trees. Thus, genetically modifies trees cannot prevent overexploitation of wild trees.
In conclusion, the professor argues against each theory in the reading. That is to say, she maintains that genetically modifies trees could not bring so many benefits.
