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

Global 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

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

BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF CHESTNUT BLIGHT IN PORTUGAL [PDF]

Acta Horticulturae, 2014
Hypovirulence is a specific biological control method of chestnut blight, a lethal disease of American and European chestnut. The causal pathogen of chestnut blight is Cryphonectria parasitica, a fungus of Asian origin and an A2 quarantine organism in Europe. The disease has been reported since 1990 in Portugal, one of the last European countries where
