Emergence and diversification of a highly invasive chestnut pathogen lineage across southeastern Europe

eLife, 2021
Invasive microbial species constitute a major threat to biodiversity, agricultural production and human health. Invasions are often dominated by one or a small number of genotypes, yet the underlying factors driving invasions are poorly understood.

Rooting of American Chestnut Microcuttings [PDF]

Journal of Environmental Horticulture, 1990
Abstract A procedure for micropropagation of American chestnut (Castanea dentata (Marsh.) Borkh.) seedlings was devised and three factors affecting in vitro rooting were investigated. A two-step rooting procedure is utilized with a short term exposure to the auxin, IBA (indole-3-butyric acid), called the pulse treatment followed by transfer to ...

Chestnut resistance to the blight disease: insights from transcriptome analysis

BMC Plant Biology, 2012
Background A century ago, Chestnut Blight Disease (CBD) devastated the American chestnut. Backcross breeding has been underway to introgress resistance from Chinese chestnut into surviving American chestnut genotypes. Development of genomic resources for

Comparison of the transcriptomes of American chestnut (Castanea dentata) and Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima) in response to the chestnut blight infection

BMC Plant Biology, 2009
Background1471-2229-9-51 American chestnut (Castanea dentata) was devastated by an exotic pathogen in the beginning of the twentieth century. This chestnut blight is caused by Cryphonectria parasitica, a fungus that infects stem tissues and kills the ...

Modelling chestnut biogeography for American chestnut restoration

Diversity and Distributions, 2012
AbstractAim Chestnuts (Castaneaspp.) are ecologically and economically important species. We studied the general biology, distribution and climatic limits of seven chestnut species from around the world. We provided climatic matching of Asiatic species to North America to assist the range‐wide restoration of American chestnut [C. dentata(Marsh.) Borkh.]

Signatures of Selection in the Genomes of Chinese Chestnut (Castanea mollissima Blume): The Roots of Nut Tree Domestication

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Chestnuts (Castanea) are major nut crops in East Asia and southern Europe, and are unique among temperate nut crops in that the harvested seeds are starchy rather than oily.

Transcriptome analysis reveals key genes involved in the resistance to Cryphonectria parasitica during early disease development in Chinese chestnut

BMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background Chestnut blight, one of the most serious branch diseases in Castanea caused by Cryphonectria parasitica, which has ravaged across American chestnut and most of European chestnut since the early twentieth century.
