Downy mildew (caused by Pseudoperonospora humuli) causes significant losses in hop (Humulus lupulus L.) cone yield and quality, and potential crown death. Breeding for resistance has proved difficult presumably because of the highly quantitative nature of genetic control over expression. The objective of this study was to utilize multiple environments...
Hop downy mildew (DM) is an obligate parasite causing severe losses in hop if not controlled. Resistance to this pathogen is a primary goal for hop breeding programs. The objective of this study was to identify QTLs linked to DM resistance. Next-generation-sequencing was performed on a mapping population segregating for...
