• Toward development of silvical strategies for forest restoration of American chestnut (Castanea dentata) using blight-resistant hybrids (2007, methodology): “However, the hybrid will be more than 90% American chestnut and phenotypically indistinguishable from American chestnut (Diskin et al., 2006; Hebard, 2006 ), and thus may operatively be considered a native species and fit into exceptions in many current governmental policy regulations concerning in”
• Recovery of American chestnut characteristics following hybridization and backcross breeding to restore blight-ravaged Castanea dentata (2006, background): “undergoing selection for resistance ( Hebard, 2005 ).”
• Hemlock woolly adelgid in the southern Appalachians: Control strategies, ecological impacts, and potential management responses (2013, background): “The cross-incompatibility of any species to eastern hemlock significantly limits the potential for inter-species breeding as a tool for developing resistance through backcross breeding as is being conducted with American chestnut (Hebard, 2006).”
