Speed Breeding Transgenic American Chestnut Trees Toward Restoration Open
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 …

Data from: Evaluating transgenic Darling 54 American chestnuts for reintroduction: Insights from survivorship, growth, and respiration in a common garden Open
Transgenic Darling 54 chestnuts, engineered with an OxO gene for blight tolerance, retain the native American chestnut’s genome and offer a potential restoration solution for this functionally extinct tree species. We compared the performa…

Improving American chestnut resistance to two invasive pathogens through genome-enabled breeding Open
Over a century after two introduced pathogens decimated American chestnut populations, breeding programs continue to incorporate resistance from Chinese chestnut to recover self-sustaining populations. Due to complex genetics of chestnut b…

Biotechnology and Genomic Approaches to Mitigating Disease Impacts on Forest Health Open
Outbreaks of insects and diseases are part of the natural disturbance regime of all forests. However, introduced pathogens have had outsized impacts on many dominant forest tree species over the past century. Mitigating these impacts and r…

Reintroduction of at-risk forest tree species using biotechnology depends on regulatory policy, informed by science and with public support Open
Introduced pests (insects and pathogens) have rapidly increased the numbers of at-risk native forest tree species worldwide. Some keystone species have been functionally extirpated, resulting in severe commercial and ecological losses. Whe…

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

A plan to diversify a transgenic blight‐tolerant American chestnut population using citizen science Open
Societal Impact Statement Over four billion American chestnut trees have been killed as a result of an introduced pathogen, the chestnut blight fungus. Recently, transgenic blight‐tolerant American chestnut trees have been produced by inse…

Developing Blight-Tolerant American Chestnut Trees Open
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 canop…

Transgenic American Chestnuts Do Not Inhibit Germination of Native Seeds or Colonization of Mycorrhizal Fungi Open
The American chestnut (Castanea dentata) was once an integral part of eastern United States deciduous forests, with many environmental, economic, and social values. This ended with the introduction of an invasive fungal pathogen that wiped…
