Oh, no..Frankentrees...and chestnuts with gluten that will turn us all into celiacs...thanks, Monsanto! The modified trees contain a gene from wheat called OxO, which makes an enzyme called oxalate oxidase that destroys the toxic oxalic acid made by the fungus, preventing cankers from forming on the tree. By-products from the enzymes action help the trees own natural defences to fight off the fungus. newscientist/article/dn25644-american-chestnut-set-for-genetically-modified-revival.html#.U44O_csU86Z
