Castanea mollissima (species) (Castanea (genus), Fagaceae (family), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Species of chestnut native to China. Nuts of the tree have local importance as food and are exported in large quantities. When cultivated close to other species of chestnut, it readily cross-pollinates to form hybrids. This species has evolved over a long period in coexistence with the bark fungal disease chestnut blight, and it has evolved a very successful resistance to the blight; although it is not immune, it typically sustains no more than minor damage when infected. This is in stark contrast to the American chestnut, which had no resistance to the blight, and was nearly wiped out after its introduction from Asia to North America in the early 20th century.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Kastanjesoort die inheems is in China. De kastanjes zijn lokaal van belang als voedsel en worden in grote hoeveelheden geëxporteerd. Wanneer men deze boom dicht bij andere soorten kastanjes plant, treedt er gemakkelijk kruisbestuiving op en ontstaan er kruisingen. Tijdens zijn evolutie heeft de soort lange tijd samengeleefd met kastanjekanker, een schimmel die zich in de schors nestelt, en heeft daardoor een goede weerstand tegen deze boomziekte ontwikkeld. De boom is er niet immuun voor, maar wanneer besmetting optreedt, is de schade voor de boom niet ernstig. De Amerikaanse kastanje heeft die weerstand echter niet, en toen kastanjekanker aan het begin van de twintigste eeuw per ongeluk vanuit Azië in Noord-Amerika werd geïntroduceerd, werd deze soort bijna uitgeroeid.
