Transgenic American Chestnut Research at ESF
In 1990, the New York Chapter of The American Chestnut Foundation and State University of New York’s College of Environmental Science & Forestry (ESF) began working collaboratively on a complementary approach to traditional breeding by transgenically adding new genes to the American chestnut to enhance the tree’s ability to withstand blight.
