Societal Responses to Using Genetic Engineering for Mitigating Chestnut Blight and Restoring American Chestnut Trees

Creator:

Petit, Joshua D.

Abstract:

Forests face health threats from pests and diseases (e.g., mountain pine beetle, emerald ash borer, chestnut blight [CB], Swiss needle cast), and other issues such as climate change. Interventions such as genetic engineering (GE) have shown promise for mitigating some of these threats. CB, for example, has impacted most American...
