The erythrinae (legume  family) populations have risk. (Treatments  with  certain  pesticides  have  been  effective  at  reducing infestations,  although  such  treatments  are  impractical  for  most  people.  Until  this  problem  is resolved,  planting  of  coral  tree  in  Hawai‘i  is  not recommended on 2005.) Particular concern has been voiced that gene flow and hybridization between agricultural crops and native plant species may exacerbate their precarious position, especially if the gene flow occurs from crops developed through recombinant DNA technologies. Horizontal genae transfer (HGT) and vertical gene transfer (VGT) are the two possible ways for gene flow and introgression to occur. VGT is more likely to facilitate gene transfer between agricultural crops and native plant species
