Evolution says that GM wheat in the wild will be weeded out in the process of natural selection, because GM wheat are made to grow big and resists certain pesticide, which is costly uses of its resources in a wild environment. Instead of growing big and juicy, maybe it needs to compete against other plants.
In other words, GM wheats and plants varieties need humans to proliferate.
