UConn scientist develops sterile variety of invasive plant
Scientific breakthrough could help restore the popular ornamental shrub
Euonymus alatus, otherwise known as burning bush, to prominence in
commercial marketplace
Professor Yi Li's Laboratory in the University of Connecticut's College of
Agriculture and Natural Resources has developed a seedless variety of the
popular ornamental shrub Euonymus alatus, also called 'burning bush,' that
retains the plant's brilliant foliage yet eliminates its ability to spread
and invade natural habitats.
