SUMMARY:A Progress Report on Resistance Breeding in Forest Trees
DESCRIPTION:The American elm (Ulmus americana) was once a common stree
 t tree\, but populations have been depleted by Dutch elm disease. Ash 
 species (Fraxinus) have suffered losses from emerald ash borer. The Am
 erican chestnut (Castanea dentata) was once the largest tree in easter
 n North America and nicknamed “the redwood of the East\,” but now 
 mostly grows as a shrub due to the introduction of chestnut blight. Wi
 ll there ever be a chance of returning iconic tree species to the land
 scape for future generations? That’s the goal of resistance breeding
  in forest trees. In this webinar\, Dr. Carrie Pike will discuss the p
 rocess and importance of breeding trees for pest resistance.
