Assessing ectomycorrhizal associations and transgene expression in transgenic Castanea dentata [PDF]
BMC Proc, 2011 Background American chestnut (Castanea dentata) once dominated the forests of the eastern United States until the introduction of a Chinese fungal pathogen Cryphonectria parasitica(causal agent of the chestnut blight) decimated the species. This tree was important not only ecologically, but also played a significant role economically.

In Vitro Propagation and Cryopreservation of American Chestnut (Castanea dentata (Marsh.) Borkh.) [PDF]
, 2019 American chestnut (Castanea dentata) is an endangered species in Canada. The population of American chestnut trees declined significantly due to the invasion of a fungal pathogen causing chestnut blight. American chestnut requires efficient strategies for propagation and preservation for species recovery.
