Speed Breeding Transgenic American Chestnut Trees Toward Restoration. [PDF]
Plant DirectABSTRACT The American chestnut (Castanea dentata) was a dominant, foundational forest canopy tree in eastern North America until an imported chestnut blight (caused by Cryphonectria parasitica) rendered it functionally extinct across its native range. Biotechnological approaches have the potential to help restore the species, but field‐based breeding ...

Hypovirus-Induced Phosphorylation of CpIre1 Modulates Unfolded Protein Response and Virulence in Cryphonectria parasitica. [PDF]
Mol Plant PatholHypovirus‐induced phosphorylation of CpIre1 modulates the endoplasmic reticulum stress response in Cryphonectria parasitica. ABSTRACT The chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica and its hypovirus constitute a valuable model for investigating fungal pathogenesis and cross‐kingdom virus–host interplay.

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.

Evolutionary Applications, 2020 American chestnut was once a foundation species of eastern North American forests, but was rendered functionally extinct in the early 20th century by an exotic fungal blight (Cryphonectria parasitica).

Developing Blight-Tolerant American Chestnut Trees [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2019 An invasive fungal pathogen has reduced the American chestnut (Castanea dentata), once a keystone tree species within its natural range in the eastern United States and Canada, to functional extinction. To help restore this important canopy tree, blight-tolerant American chestnut trees have been developed using an oxalate oxidase-encoding gene from ...

A plan to diversify a transgenic blight‐tolerant American chestnut population using citizen science
Plants, People, Planet, 2020 Societal Impact Statement Over four billion American chestnut trees have been killed as a result of an introduced pathogen, the chestnut blight fungus.

Viruses, 2022 Biological control of Cryphonectria parasitica fungus, causal agent of chestnut blight, by virus infection (hypovirulence) has been shown to be an effective control strategy against chestnut blight in Europe and some parts of North America.

International Journal of Horticultural Science, 2002 The chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) Barr [syn.: Endothia parasitica (Murr) Anderson] caused almost total destruction of the American chestnut (Castanea dentata) and widely spread on European chestnut (Castanea saliva) in many ...

Interactions between invasive pests and pathogens in a native chestnut forest [PDF]
NeoBiotaThe introduction in the same area of different invasive species can result in novel interactions, with unpredictable consequences. We carried out a study in Galicia (northwestern Iberian Peninsula) with the aim of clarifying the interactions between two ...
