Intentional introgression of a blight tolerance transgene to rescue the remnant population of American chestnut

Conservation Science and Practice, 2021
In contrast to many current applications of biotechnology, the intended consequence of the American Chestnut Research & Restoration Project is to produce trees that are well‐adapted to thrive not just in confined fields or orchards, but throughout their ...

Modelling the historic distribution and habitat of American chestnut (Castanea dentata) in Georgia, USA using edaphic and landform predictors [PDF]

Frontiers of Biogeography
The loss of American chestnut (Castanea dentata Marsh. Bork.) caused ecological change in many community types of the eastern United States. Restoration is challenged by climate change and two naturalised invasive non-native diseases, chestnut blight ...

Analysis of Environment-Marker Associations in American Chestnut [PDF]

Forests, 2018
American chestnut (Castanea dentata Borkh.) was a dominant tree species in its native range in eastern North America until the accidentally introduced fungus Cryphonectria parasitica (Murr.) Barr, that causes chestnut blight, led to a collapse of the species.

Cyto-molecular characterization of rDNA and chromatin composition in the NOR-associated satellite in Chestnut (Castanea spp.)

Scientific Reports
The American chestnut (Castanea dentata, 2n = 2x = 24), once known as the “King of the Appalachian Forest”, was decimated by chestnut blight during the first half of the twentieth century by an invasive fungus (Cryphonectria parasitica).

Review: Chestnut and quebracho tannins in pig nutrition: the effects on performance and intestinal health

Animal, 2021
Natural extracts are frequently adopted as a valuable alternative to antibiotics in intensive animal farming. Their diverse bioactive constituents such as phytosterols, glucosinolates, carotenoids and polyphenols have shown antioxidant, anti-inflammatory

Mapping QTLs for blight resistance and morpho-phenological traits in inter-species hybrid families of chestnut (Castanea spp.)

Frontiers in Plant Science
Chestnut blight (caused by Cryphonectria parasitica), together with Phytophthora root rot (caused by Phytophthora cinnamomi), has nearly extirpated American chestnut (Castanea dentata) from its native range.

First interspecific genetic linkage map for Castanea sativa x Castanea crenata revealed QTLs for resistance to Phytophthora cinnamomi.

PLoS ONE, 2017
The Japanese chestnut (Castanea crenata) carries resistance to Phytophthora cinnamomi, the destructive and widespread oomycete causing ink disease. The European chestnut (Castanea sativa), carrying little to no disease resistance, is currently threatened
