Micropropagating American chestnut plantlets in the Plant Tissue Culture Lab at @SUNY ESF 🔪🌱 More information: These clonally propgated chestnuts are not meant for restoration or field plantings. We use tissue culture trees for research purposes only such as studying OxO gene expression or conducting controlled fungal inoculations. We also put tissue culture generated trees into high light growth chambers to produce transgneic pollen to be used in controlled pollinations! #americanchestnut #bi

One of the greatest ecological disasters the US has ever seen. Chestnut blight wiped out the American chestnut tree in less than 50 years.⁠ A tree that once made up nearly 25% of the eastern forests was reduced to a functionally extinct species.⁠ ⁠ The Asian fungus Cryphonectria parasitica was accidentally introduced into the United States in the late 1800s. While a few diseased chestnuts were noted in the 1880s and 90s, it wasn't until 1904 that the pathogen was identified in New York City. Fro

The fungus cuts off the flow of water and nutrients within trees. Starved of nutrients, the trunks of American chestnuts die. But the roots remain alive. They give rise to spr

The American chestnut tree (Castanea dentata) was once a dominant species in the Appalachian Mountains, an integral part of the forest ecosystem and the culture of the region. Known as the “redwood of the East,” these towering trees, some reaching over 100 feet tall, provided a reliable source of food, wood, and income for Appalachian communities. Chestnuts were a staple for wildlife, and their rot-resistant wood was highly valued for building and furniture making. However, in the early 20th cen
