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 harder than nature trees; that is, they are more likely to survive than their unmodified counterparts. In Hawaii, for example, a new pest-resistant species of papaya trees has been developed in response to ring spot virus infections that have repeatedly damaged the native papaya tree population. Planting the genetically modified papayas has largely put an end to the ring spot 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 food, fruit, or other products and be hardier. This allows tree farmer 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 and 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 reading passage, the author discusses about the three kinds of the benefits that resulted by using genetic modified trees, while the lecturer claims that they are not great as the reading passage states and disputes all the benefits presented in the reading passage by several proofs.
First, both the text and talk discuss about the idea of<span class="hiddenGrammarError" pre="of "></span> the genetically modified trees stability. In this regard, the belief in the reading passage is that genetically modifed trees are more stronger than natural tress and use Hawaii papaya trees as an example to prove his belief. However, the speaker views to this point is from an opposite angle. According to the speaker, because genetically modified trees are more uniform and genetically more similar to each other, they are more vulnerable to damage for a sudden climate change or pest and insect invade and actually they maybe wipe out completely. However, natural tresses have different genes which enable some sort of them to resist in unpleasant condition.
Second, both the reading and listening material put forth the idea of the economic profit of the genetically modified trees. In this vein, the writer make point to huge amount of the fruit and food that these tress yields as a good way to make profit to their owner.On the other hand, the lecturer illustrate they have hidden cost for their owner because owners should pay every year for the seed company that sold them the seed of the tress.
Third, the writer states that the use of the genetically modified trees can prohibit the over use of the wild trees and worldwide deforestation because the genetically modified trees, grow faster and they can take the wild trees places in the industrial. By contrast, the professor refutes this point by saying that because of their fast growing rate, they need more nutrition and water sources. Therefore, wild trees couldn't compet with them in the use of source such as water and sunlight.
