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 genetic trees are more resistant to bad conditions. Instead, professor points out that they lack gene diversity 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 trees with genetic modifications have more economic profits, the lecturer contends they are even more expensive, citing the evidence that modified seeds always have a higher price. Moreover, farmers are supposed to pay it every time they use it, instead of collecting seeds from previous trees.
Finally, the professor asserts that genetically modified trees are actually more damaging to other wild trees, especially to rare species. Because they can grow aggressively, and hence compete for nutrients and light with other trees. Unique trees are vulnerable and may be competed out by these trees. This again contrasts to the reading that genetically modified trees can protect normal trees from overexploitation.
In conclusion, based on the arguments mentioned by the professor, genetically modified trees are not that significant as the passage asserts.
