Scientists inject 6,000 elms to breed disease-tolerant stock

— 1d
U.S. researchers are using Dutch elm disease to breed and restore American elm trees, injecting thousands of young elms to test disease resistance and then propagating survivors for seed orchards and future reforestation. This effort is part of a broader push to protect forests from pests and pathogens that threaten biodiversity and hydrology, including challenges to other species like ash trees.

Grew up watching massive elms line every street in my town before disease wiped them out, would love to see that canopy come back someday.
