Validation of an Alternative Small Stem Assay for Blight Resistance in Chestnut Seedlings and Recommendations for Broader Use

We evaluated an alternative small stem assay (AltSSA) for blight resistance in backcross hybrid chestnut trees (Castanea dentata/mollissima). Whereas standard small stem assays (SSAs) are done by inoculating small incisions in stems, in our AltSSA, 4- to 5-mm stems are cut off, and the exposed (livi...
