Decoding drought tolerance from a genomic approach in Castanea sativa Mill. [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Genome
Abstract Climate change, marked by prolonged periods of extreme summer drought coupled with heat, presents a significant challenge for chestnut forests. Genomic insight into drought tolerance in Castanea sativa is essential for enhancing the adaptation of this species to climate change.

Identifying resilient restoration targets: Mapping and forecasting habitat suitability for Castanea dentata in Eastern USA under different climate-change scenarios

open access: yesClimate Change Ecology, 2021
Following the near-eradication of the American chestnut (Castanea dentata) over the last century by an invasive fungal pathogen, progress has been made in recent decades towards generating blight-resistant varieties for restoration in its former native ...

Identifying Host Resistance to Phytophthora cinnamomi in Hybrid Progeny of Castanea dentata and Castanea mollissima [PDF]

open access: yesHortScience, 2019
Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands, the causal pathogen of phytophthora root rot (PRR) of chestnut, is one of the main obstacles to growth of american chestnut [Castanea dentata (Marsh.) Bork.] in the southern part of its distribution. To facilitate introgression of PRR resistance of chinese chestnut (C. mollissima Blume) into a C. dentata genetic background,

Evaluation of phenotypic traits and blight-resistance in an American chestnut backcross orchard in Georgia

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2017
American chestnut (Castanea dentata) was once a cultural, ecological, and economic staple of hardwood forests of the Eastern United States; however, chestnut blight caused by Cryphonectria parasitica has severely threatened its significance. The American
