Hop is one of the few dioecious plants with dimorphic sex chromosomes. Because the entire Cannabaceae family is dioecious, hop and other members of this family are thought to have a relatively older sex chromosomal system than other plant species. Hop cones are only produced in female hops with or...
NM-9D11A-AN3 alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) germplasm
(Reg. no. GP-337, NSL 386506) was developed by the New
Mexico Agricultural Experiment Station and released 5 Oct.
1998. NM-9D11A-AN3 has demonstrated high yield potential
under deficit irrigated field conditions in southern New Mexico.
It is highly resistant to anthracnose (caused by Colletotrichum trifolii...
’Teamaker’ hop (Humulus lupulus L.) (Reg. No. CV-28,
PI 558864) was developed by the USDA-ARS as a unique,
nonbittering, high beta-acids hop and was released on 26 June
2006. The defining characteristics of Teamaker are its near-zero
percent alpha acids levels—a distinctive condition in the Humulus
species (Haunold et al.,...
Projections of a drier, warmer climate in the U.S. Southwest would complicate
management of the Colorado River system – yet these projections, often based on coarse
resolution global climate models, are quite uncertain. We present an approach to understanding
future Colorado River discharge based on land surface characterizations that map...
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...
Hop powdery mildew [Podosphaera macularis (Wallr.) U. Braun & S. Takam.] is best controlled via the production of resistant varieties. Recent evidence supports selection against plant susceptibility genes to fungal pathogens as a more durable resistance mechanism than selection for resistance genes. The objective of this study was to identify...
Increased temperatures and changes in precipitation will result in fundamental changes in the
seasonal distribution of streamflow in the Pacific Northwest and will have serious implications for water
resources management. To better understand local impacts of regional climate change, we conducted
model experiments to determine hydrologic sensitivities of annual, seasonal,...
