“…faginata]), butternut canker (Sirococcus clavigignenti-juglandacearum), Dutch elm disease (Ophiostoma ulmi (Buisman) Nannf. and O. novo-ulmi Brasier) and chestnut blight, each have devastating impacts, and are restricted in North America to a single tree species or a low number of native species (Ehrlich 1934;Ostry 1995;Ostry and Kastovich 1997;Schlarbaum et al 1997;McKeen 1995). In each of these cases, virulence is high with widespread mortality, but the range and abundance of the pathogen is limited by the range and abundance of the host species.…”

“…The fungus was thought to have arrived on nursery stock (McKeen 1995;Anagnostakis 2001), and had a rapid and devastating impact on eastern hardwood forests. In 30 years it had killed most of the mature native chestnut in the middle Atlantic and New England States (Bramble 1934).…”

“…When American chestnut was effectively extirpated by the fungal pathogen within a few decades of the fungus' appearance (Mack et al 2000), a variety of mostly hardwood species replaced it. McKeen (1995) called the loss of the chestnut ''the greatest single catastrophe in the annals of forest history.'' Two decades after its appearance in New York, the disease had spread into southern Ontario and had caused similar destruction there (McKeen 1995).…”

“…Beckerman and Powell (1991) suggest that genetic engineering to produce antifungal proteins such as the one found in Chinese chestnut may be the answer. Those seeking a more natural approach have put their time and efforts into researching biocontrol with hypovirulent strains of the blight fungus (Van Alfen et al 1975;Jaynes and Elliston 1980;Anagnostakis 1982Anagnostakis , 1990Scibilia and Shain 1989;MacDonald and Fulbright 1991;Choi and Nuss 1992;Dunn and Boland 1993;Dunn et al 1994;McKeen 1995;Dierauf et al 1997;Mooij 1997) and an antagonistic bark fungi, Trichodemuz spp. (Gonzalez et al 1994, Tattar et al 1996.…”

Ex situ conservation of American chestnut (Castanea dentata (Marsh.) Borkh.) and butternut (Juglans cinerea L.), a review by Ken McIlwrickl, S. Wetze12, T. ~e a r d m o r e~ and K. ~o r b e s~ Two tree species native to North America, American chestnut (Castanea dentata (Marsh.) Borkh.) and butternut (Juglans cinerea L.), which have experienced rapid declines in their populations due to similar stressors (disease and changes in land use), are used as examples of how these species would benefit from ex situ conservation efforts. Current and past ex situ and in situ conservation efforts for these species are discussed and the focus of this review is on two key research areas: 1) what needs to be preserved (genetic information) and 2) how to preserve these trees or germplasm.Key words: butternut, American chestnut, Cryphonectria parasitica, Sirococcus clavigignenti-juglandacearum, ex situ conservation Deux espkces arborescentes indigknes de 1'Amtrique du Nord, le chstaignier amtricain (Castanea dentata (Marsh) Borkh.) et le noyer cendrt (Juglans cinerea L.), qui ont connu une diminution rapide de leur population suite A des stress similaires (la maladie et les changements dans l'utilisation du territoire), sont utilistes pour illustrer comment des espkces pourraient bCnCficier des efforts de conservation ex situ. Les efforts actuels et antkrieurs de conservation ex situ et in situ dans le cas de ces espkces sont discutts et le point central de cette revue porte sur deux domaines de recherche courante: 1) ce qu'il faut prtserver (information gCnCtique) et 2) comment prtserver ces arbres ou leurs germoplastes.
