The reading passages discusses an interesting topic about genetic modification and how this use improves trees plantation and provides three reasons for support its benefits. However, the lecture casts doubts on the claims made by the article. She thinks that genetic modification brings some benefits to tree farmers, but also brings many damages, and she refutes each of the reason given by the article.
First, the reading passages sustains that genetic modification makes trees stronger to survive based on that an artificial modification could achieve the elimination of an obstacle for its grow and development, like creating antibodies for a pest. On the contrary, the lecture questions this point explaining how difficult it would be for a species without any diversity in its genetic to survive a catastrophic event. Moreover, while wild plant have a bank of diversity DNA, the possibility of one or two to survive could be possible against those generation that have an homogeneous type of bank of genes.
Secondly, the reading passage argues that genetic modification brings economic benefits to the tree farmers because of the improvement in fruit production or shorter time in develop the plan to an adult. On the other hand, the lecture questions this argument by mentioning that the seeds under the genetic modification is a product with a patent that has a price to be charge every time farmers want to plant a tree.
Finally, the reading passage exposes as a benefit the idea of over exploitation in case of using a plantation with genetic modification because of the faster growing of this type of trees. Challenging this point, the lecture warms this use by explaining how a faster, stronger plant could produce a terrible damage when competing for water, space and other resources used by other species that could disappear in consequence.
