I recently came across a problem we are having in my city where all our Maple trees are made from tissue cultures and do not have much genetic diversity. They plan on using seeds from wild maples to redo the area around the city. They have sited that the Asian longhorned beetle would still be a problem to most maples. My goal would be to take whatever the natural deterrent is in cedar and put it in the genome of these wild bred maples. Does anyone have a suggestion as to the deterrent or the gene I'm looking for? My guess is it is the scent of the cedar which may have multiple loci.
