Please help me answer this question:
One of the greatest benefits of genetic engineering has been the manipulation of genes in crop plants such as wheat and soybeans. In what ways can genetic engineering affect agriculture?
Your help is greatly appreciated. 10 points will be rewarded.

genetic engineering can have adverse effects on plant crops, possibly creating a population bottleneck effect. by genetically altering crops to a certain degree, genetic diversity could decrease, allowing the majority of a certain crop to be genetically identical to one another. if a certain bacteria or virus attacks the certain crop, then it might contain the parameters to be able to fight it off. this would lead to the ultimate extinction of a certain crop. yay, bottleneck effect!
this could be a total stretch though...
