The reading and the lecture are both about genetically modified trees. The author provides three theories about why genetically modified trees are beneficial. The lecturer disputes the claims made in the reading.
Firstly, The lecturer mentions that in the case of natural trees, we can observe variations among a particular kind of species. Hence, if one kind of a species becomes destroyed, other kinds may survive. Therefore, existence of that species is not endangered. On the other hand, in genetically modified trees, all trees under a particular species are same in genetic structure. As a result, if one tree of a particular species is killed due to factor like virus, bacteria, weather etc, , then whole species is likely to be killed. This contradicts what the lecturer indicates.
Secondly, in the lecture, it is said that genetically modified trees are economically friendly. The specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. He mentions that seeds of economically modified trees are costly. Additionally, he points out that when they get new seeds
from the existing tree, they have to give money for that trees to the seed company from where they bought seeds previously.
Lastly, according to the reading, genetically modified trees save the jungle and wildlife. In contrast, the lecturer's stance is genetically modified trees grow up aggresively and consume more natural resources like foods, chemicals available in the soil. Hence, natural trees in the jungle do not get proper food to grow up and become endangered.
