Investigadores del CSIC trabajan en el desarrollo de chopos y abedules modificados genéticamente para limpiar suelos contaminados por metales pesados, como plomo o cadmio, y derivados de explosivos. También trabajan en la mejora genética del castaño y en la crioconservación de árboles selectos de España, como los robles y castaños, para lo cual están creando un banco de germoplasma, una herramienta útil en la conservación de la bioversidad.
