Banking on the future: progress, challenges and opportunities for the genetic conservation of forest trees (2017, background): “Transgenic approaches, such as incorporating genes from pathogen-resistant organisms, also may play a role in the restoration of threatened tree species, sometimes as part of an integrated approach that includes conventional breeding (Merkle et al. 2007; Steiner et al. 2017).”

Gene Flow, Risk Assessment and the Environmental Release of Transgenic Plants (2008, background): “A particularly interesting issue is raised by the research designed to improve the disease tolerance of certain ‘heritage’ trees in the United States (Merkle et al., 2007).”
