正文(英文) | Biosecurity Minister launches Government's new Ash Research Strategy Ash trees demonstrating tolerance to the highly destructive tree disease ash dieback will be planted in the UK’s first ‘ash tree archive’. This was announced by Biosecurity Minister Lord Gardiner at Royal Botanic Gardens Kew’s Millennium Seed Bank today (Thursday 6 June) as he launched the Government’s new Ash Research Strategy. This strategy consolidates all the evidence on ash trees and their threats to identify future research needs to protect the species and restore it to our landscape. These threats include the tree disease ash dieback, which has the potential to cause significant damage to the UK’s ash trees population, and the pest emerald ash borer. Defra has jointly funded a number of successful research projects that have identified trees which appear to be showing signs of tolerance to ash dieback. These trees are the next important step in developing a future breeding programme of disease-resistant ash trees. Lord Gardiner, Biosecurity Minister, said:
Nicola Spence, Defra Chief Plant Health Officer, said:
Scions collected from the trees that appear to be showing signs of tolerance to ash dieback have been grafted onto healthy rootstock and are currently growing in nurseries with the anticipation of being planted in Hampshire in 2020. The Ash Research Strategy has been developed in partnership with key stakeholders, including academics, Defra family scientists and researchers, research councils, the forestry, horticultural and landscape sectors, landowner representative bodies, environmental organisations. Jo Clark, Head of Research at FTT and project lead for the Living Ash Project, said:
Professor Melanie Welham, Executive Chair of the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, said:
The ash strategy presents six updated ash policy objectives, set against the THRS resilience circle segments:
