关于转基因植物的雅思作文范文

　　Genetically-modified （GM） plants are part of the latest developments in our ever-changing world. Some people are against them because they are concerned that such plants may cause unpredictable problems. I believe this concern is totally unnecessary, as GM plant shave the following three advantages.

　　First, research and development of GM plants will help us to produce better foodstuffs in terms of quantity and quality. For example, disease-resistant rice with high yields can help eradicate famines and food shortages that have been plaguing the people of many countries. With GM plant technology, we can develop fish without bones, apples that taste of meat and other delicious and exotic foods. The possibilities, to some extent, are only limited by man"s imagination.

　　Second, GM technology opens a new dimension for scientific research. Scientists have been working hard to decipher the secrets hidden in all organisms. GM plant technology will help them to better understand how nature works. Some day, I believe, we will be able to decode all plants" genetic makeup, and bring the whole plant growth process-from blossoming to fruit bearing-under our control.

　　Third, GM plants may assist us to achieve a perfect ecological balance by producing species to cover the gaps in the biological chain due to wanton abuse of natural resources by human activities. We can develop organisms that can decompose and digest the garbage produced by mankind to make this world greener and cleaner.

　　Of course,GM plants, like other scientific developments, may cause some problems. But I believe that, with careful regulation and control, the advantages will far outweigh the disadvantages.
