Once the Rag1 gene was discovered, Syngenta was able to successfully transfer it by using multiple backcrosses into elite Midwestern varieties. After two more backcrosses, TACF had a tree which was 15/16 American and 1/16 Chinese, which it hopes will uphold the beauty and adaptability of the American chestnut. Researchers will begin third backcrosses this year and are only one cross away from the end of their breeding program (about seven years). |
