The lecturer raises three arguments to cast doubt on the passage's suggestions that genetically modified trees are beneficial both ecologically and economically
To begin with, the professor rules out the possibility that genetically modified trees are more resistant to bad conditions, instead pointing out that they are more genetically uniform compared to wild type trees, and therefore are likely to die out under circumstances that they were not designed to deal with.
Secondly, contrary to the reading material that genetically modified trees have more economic profits, the lecturer contends they are even more expensive, citing the evidence that modified seeds always have a higher price, and farmers are supposed to pay it every time they use it, instead of collecting seeds from previous trees.
Last but not least, the professor asserts that genetically modified trees are actually more damaging to other wild trees, especially to rare species, for they grow much faster, and therefore compete for nutrients and light with other trees. Unique trees are vulnerable and may be competed out by modified trees. This again contrasts to the reading that genetically modified trees can protect normal trees from overexploitaion.
In conclusion, based on the arguments mentioned by the professor, genetically modified trees are not that significant as the passage suggests.
