Almost all plants are engaged in symbiotic relationships with mycorrhizal fungi. These soil
fungi can promote plant growth by supplying limiting nutrients to plant roots in return for plant …

Circa 1900, a farmer from the eastern US planted 11 American chestnut (Castanea dentata)
seeds on a newly established farm near West Salem in western Wisconsin. These trees …

The objective of this research was to evaluate soil subsurface methods that may aid in
seedling establishment and encourage root colonization from a diverse group of …

ABSTRACT American chestnut (Castanea dentata [Marsh.] Borkh.) dominated the eastern
forests of North America, serving as a keystone species both ecologically and economically …

Restoration of the American chestnut (Castanea dentata) is underway using backcross
breeding that confers chestnut blight disease resistance from Asian chestnuts (most often …

American chestnut (Castanea dentata (Marsh.) Borkh. once occurred over much of the
eastern deciduous forests of North America (Russell, 1987), with a natural range exceeding …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of five different species of
ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi on root colonization of native fungi on putatively blight resistant …

Six transgenic events (TEv) of Castanea dentata, each containing four to five transgenes
with varying insertion numbers, were field-tested for non-target impacts on root symbiotic …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi form mutualistic symbioses with woody trees and shrubs
allowing for an increase in water and nutrient uptake. The absence of these microbes may …

American chestnut (Castanea dentate) once occurred over much of the eastern deciduous
forests of North America, with a natural range exceeding 220 acres. The wood of the …
