Scientists fast-track breeding of disease-resistant ash trees

Scientists in the UK have developed a fast-track method of breeding disease-resistant ash trees. Researchers at the Norwich based John Innes Centre have adapted an embryo extraction method which in turn “rapidly speeds up the germination of European ash seeds”. The technique involves extracting the embryo from the seed coat using a knife and tweezers […] The post Scientists fast-track breeding of disease-resistant ash trees appeared first on Agriland.ie.
