Ash genome reveals fungus resistance
Scientists have sequenced the genome of a type of ash tree with resistance to the deadly fungal disease sweeping the UK.
The development could be the starting point for breeding a strain of ash to replace thousands expected to succumb to ash die-back in the next few years.
Ash die-back is now established and spreading within Britain.
