In trying to return the American #chestnut to Appalachian forests, some researchers are looking to new genetic engineering tools. Unsurprisingly, not everyone's happy about this. Philosopher Evelyn Brister has taken a close look in ISSUES: https://t.co/CyBzK5soxS
"If the chestnut is approved... I think it's accurate to say that it does help pave the way for other biotech trees," said @JasonDelborne of @NCStateCNR @GESCenterNCSU who served on @theNASEM #ForestBiotechStudy

.@theNASEM's #ForestBiotechStudy explored the potential of #biotechnology to help mitigate threats to North American forests from insects and pathogens through the introduction of pest-resistant traits to forest trees. Read the report for FREE! https://t.co/5o8Chidh7I
Forest biomass loss due to non-native pests may hamper carbon sequestration by forests worldwide, according to a new study. In PNAS: https://t.co/rUw6i5KKaX

What if we could use #biotechnology to protect our trees from climate change, diseases, and pests? @theNASEM's #ForestBiotechStudy committee member and @NCState @GESCenterNCSU Associate Professor @JasonDelborne looks into this question via @AcademicMinute.
We have genetically engineered food; how about trees?
Jason Delborne, associate professor of science, policy and society at North Carolina State University, looks into this question.

Happy #ArborDay! Does #biotechnology have the potential to mitigate threats to forest tree health? What are the ecological, economic, and social implications of deploying biotechnology in forests? Read @theNASEM report for FREE: https://t.co/qD9yGHL94p #ForestBiotechStudy
When massive forest die-offs happen, they threaten both the survival of tree species and the benefits forests provide to humans. Read our report on how biotechnology could protect forest trees: https://t.co/xyxX2NLcPt #ForestHealth #ForestBiotechStudy #InternationalDayOfForests

Learn more about ash trees and threats by the invasive pest emerald ash borer in @theNASEM's recent report Forest Health and Biotechnology: Possibilities and Considerations https://t.co/O1mboidm20 #ForestBiotechStudy
1,400 Ash Tree Seeds makes visible the scope of collection efforts underway to archive Ash trees in response to the threat posed by the invasive emerald ash borer. It’s a lenticular print in #ArchivingEden and it changes from green to brown as viewers move past it. #DASER
Just one question: could genetically engineered trees be the answer to decreasing forest health? Our own @JasonDelborne weighed in for @theNASEM. ➡️ https://t.co/73T4r9Qg0e

NOW taking questions at #AAASmtg @theNASEM #ForestBiotechStudy session: Ecologies of Innovation: The Potential for #Biotechnology to Address #ForestHealth w/ Jason Delborne, Inés Ibáñez, Stephen DiFazio, & Gregory Jaffe https://t.co/vUJmKDWim8
.@JaffeGregory @CSPI at #AAASmtg @theNASEM #ForestBiotechStudy session: The current regulatory system for #biotech plants applies to biotech forest trees and does not impose any additional requirements.
.@JasonDelborne @GESCenterNCSU at #AAASmtg @theNASEM #ForestBiotechStudy session: Studies generally show preference for conventional breeding techniques, but the majority favor #biotech tools over no action at all.
.@JasonDelborne @GESCenterNCSU at #AAASmtg @theNASEM #ForestBiotechStudy session: Values on forests extend beyond the ecosystem services framework. There are intrinsic values. spiritual kinship, wild-ness, and distributive, procedural, intergenerational social justice,
