Beech Leaf Disease is known to affect the American Beech, making leaves shriveled and deformed, and sometimes leading to the death of saplings. However, the cause of this disease is currently unknown. With help from the GDSU, CFAES researchers Eric Bonello and Jason Slot secured a USDA grant to use a next-generation sequencing approach to study the disease, which could eventually save thousands of trees.
