Journal ArticleDOI
Towards domestication of Jatropha curcas
Wouter Achten,Lene Rostgaard Nielsen,Raf Aerts,Ard G Lengkeek,Erik Dahl Kjær,Antonio Trabucco,Jon Kehlet Hansen,Wouter Maes,Lars Graudal,Festus K. Akinnifesi,Bart Muys +10 more
TL;DR: This review presents all currently available and relevant information on the species distribution, site requirements, regeneration ecology, genetic diversity, advances in selection, development of varieties and hybridization, and describes possible routes to a better Jatropha germplasm.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ash dieback crisis: genetic variation in resistance can prove a long‐term solution
Lea Vig McKinney,Lene Rostgaard Nielsen,David B. Collinge,Iben Margrete Thomsen,Jon Kehlet Hansen,Erik Dahl Kjær +5 more
TL;DR: Following a period of high mortality in natural populations, selection and breeding of remaining viable ash trees could provide a route for restoring the role of ash in the landscape and it is recommended that resistant trees (genotypes) should be selected to facilitate conservation of the species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome sequence and genetic diversity of European ash trees

TL;DR: A rapid, integrated, multidisciplinary research response to an emerging health threat in a non-model organism opens the way for mitigation of the epidemic of ash dieback.
Journal ArticleDOI
Presence of natural genetic resistance in Fraxinus excelsior (Oleraceae) to Chalara fraxinea (Ascomycota): an emerging infectious disease.
TL;DR: Though this fraction is probably too low to avoid population collapse in most natural or managed ash forests, the observed presence of putative resistance against the emerging infectious disease in natural stands is likely to be of evolutionary importance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive potential of ash (Fraxinus excelsior) populations against the novel emerging pathogen Hymenoscyphus pseudoalbidus
Erik Dahl Kjær,Lea Vig McKinney,Lene Rostgaard Nielsen,Lars Nørgaard Hansen,Jon Kehlet Hansen +4 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the presence of additive genetic diversity in natural F. excelsior populations can confer the species with important ability to recover, but that low resistance within natural European populations is to be expected because of a low frequency of the hypo‐sensitive trees.
