Why Is Anne Edwards Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Anne Edwards is a British plant scientist, based at the John Innes Centre and was the first person in the UK to identify Ash dieback disease in England, Ash dieback Edwards was the first person to identify Ash Dieback, caused by the fungus Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, discovering it in Ashwellthorpe Woods, Norfolk in 2012. Four years later she found a tree that was resistant to the disease and named it Betty which was used to help identify three genetic markers associated with resistance against the disease. Anne is heavily involved in the Nornex consortium, an open-access and crowdsourcing approach, which was established to respond to this outbreak. This involved creating a game, Fraxinus, where players analyse real data. She continues to play an active role in researching the disease, for example in estimating the mortality of trees it infects and tracing back how the fungus entered the country from just one or two fruiting bodies.
