... would be problematic if insects that feed on crops become resistant to the toxin in the crops and generate a mass destruction of these plants creating a food shortage in that region. (Hayden, 2) Another issue that raises attention is that insect and pesticide resistant plants could naturally transfer their genes to nearby native plants. This would create less plant diversity and not allow ... natural evolution of these plants to occur. Plant breeders are concerned that cross-pollination could flood out genetic diversity, making it impossible to breed new strains of plants. (Hayden, 1) O...
