A fungus, C.parasitica, contributes to the growth of cankers on the trees' trunks; these cankers, in turn,prevent a tree from transporting water from their roots to their branches and leaves. Torender American chestnut trees resistant to the blight, Powell and Maynard experimented withaltering the genetic makeup of the trees. The resultant genetically engineered trees are calledDarling 4 American chestnut trees, and during the first 15 weeks after infection with chestnutblight, they grow cankers that are much smaller than those that grow on American chestnuttrees.
