A new method for breeding disease-resistant European ash trees has emerged from the John Innes Center. This approach aims to address the challenges faced by the species due to disease.

The technique involves adapting the embryo extraction method, which researchers believe could significantly expedite the breeding process.

This development is part of ongoing conservation efforts to restore the ash tree population in Europe, which has been severely impacted by various threats.
