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

Professor Yi Li's Laboratory in the University of Connecticut's College of

popular ornamental shrub Euonymus alatus, also called 'burning bush,' that

and invade natural habitats.
