Our frequent collaborator at Wright State University, Professor Don Cipollini has found emerald ash borer infesting white fringe trees (Chionanthus virginicus) in Ohio. While fringe tree is still a closely related member of the olive family, this is the first evidence of EAB infesting trees outside the ash (Fraxinus) genus in North America. See the story below for more information.
In just the last decade, this wood-boring insect has killed tens of millions of ash trees in North America and is a growing threat to European ash. The goal of this project is to discover genes from Asian ash trees which allow them to resist the insect in order to save the multi-billion dollar ash resources in North America and Europe.
