A fast-track method of breeding disease-resistant ash trees has been developed by researchers leading efforts to conserve the species. Researchers at the John Innes Center, who have adapted the embryo extraction method, found that it rapidly speeds up the germination of European ash seeds. A process that can take up to six years in nature now takes around one week in the lab.
