Ash dieback

Ash dieback caused by the invasive fungal pathogen Hymenoscyphus fraxineus frequently has devastating consequences for the survival of Fraxinus excelsior especially in forests. A few percent of the Ash trees seems to be tolerant for the fungus. In our projects we aim to identify ash trees tolerant to ash dieback.
