Preliminary genetic barcodes for ash (Fraxinus) species and generation of new wide hybrids
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 245-258, January 2026.Societal Impact Statement The world‐wide diversity of ash trees includes genetic information encoding resistance to the ash dieback fungus and the emerald ash borer beetle, which are currently devastating ash populations in Europe and North America. In order to mobilise this genetic diversity in conventional breeding programmes, we need to be able to ...
